Stage 2 - ⌛ 2 min.
Generously butter the bottom of a casserole and spread the sliced onions in a layer.
Set aside.
Set aside.
Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.
Put the pork joint (or pieces) on a chopping board. You can choose a cheaper cut for this; there is no need to use a premium cut like filet mignon (even though this would work fine).
A smoked and salted joint would be even better still, so I heartily recommend it.

Bouquet garni
Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare. The basic principle is to make a small bundle of herbs, bind them in green leek leaves and to tie it up, so that the whole thing can be removed and discarded easily after cooking.
