Easy Papua New Guinean Mumu

Slow-cooked pork and vegetables, adapted from the traditional earth-oven method for a regular stovetop pot — the coconut cream does double duty here, keeping everything moist through the long, low cook.

Ingredients

1kgpork shoulder, cubed
4 / 4 cupssweet potato and greens
1 cupcoconut cream

Instructions

1

Layer the pork cubes and vegetables in a heavy pot, starting with the denser sweet potato at the bottom so it is closer to the heat.

2

Continue layering the remaining vegetables and pork on top.

3

Pour the coconut cream evenly over the top, then cover tightly with a lid or foil then a lid to trap the steam.

4

Cook over low heat for 2-3 hours without lifting the lid too often, until the pork is meltingly tender and the vegetables have soaked up the coconut cream.
