Or as I like to call it, "medieval carnitas." Recipe by Daniel Myers

This is an exceptionally simple and very tasty recipe. The combination of coriander and caraway, a bit unusual for medieval English recipes, gives the meat and the sauce a strong, complimentary flavor.

The Hot Mustard goes well with this!
