Bajan Souse

1.2 kg meaty pork
juice of 4 large limes
salt
1 medium onion, very finely chopped
1 large cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
1 hot pepper, seeded and chopped
parsley

Wash and clean pork. Place in a large saucepan of boiling water and
simmer until tender. Remove the meat from the saucepan and plunge into
cold water. When cool, remove and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Put the pork into a bowl and make a brine with the lime juice, water
and salt to taste, about 500 ml of brine. Mix this with the onion,
cucumber and pepper, and then pour over the meat. Cover and chill for
several hours before serving. Garnish with parsley.
