Pork, pasta and vegetable stir fry

For the next four weeks, I'll post a recipe and see how much interest there is in this. My sister and a friend have told me that I cook regularly enough and enjoy doing it so I might as well write about some of the dishes...

Last weekend, I walked into a supermarket with my sisters to buy a certain item but could not find it. I wasn't prepared to leave empty handed so I dashed to the meat section and I left with a good deal, pork shanks happened to be the item of the day!

As we had veggies at home and some pasta, I decided to make a stir fry with these ingredients.

So the ingredients I used were:
- pork shanks
- onions

- turmeric
- salt
- curry
- thyme
- olive oil
The amount of ingredients you use will determine how many people you are cooking for. I cooked for seven.
