Method

  1. 1

    Melt the butter in a flameproof casserole just large enough to hold the pork and brown it all over for 6-8 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pour in the milk and add the garlic, bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

  3. 3

    Bring to a very gentle simmer, cover and cook for 65-70 minutes, turning the pork occasionally, until cooked through with no pink remaining (the milk will separate into curds, which is normal).

  4. 4

    Lift out the pork, cover loosely with foil and rest for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the bay leaves and thyme stalks and whisk the sauce briefly to bring it back together.

  6. 6

    Slice the pork and serve with the milky garlic sauce spooned over.
