Recipe: Posh Gruel with Pedro Ximenes Pig's Cheeks

Stop thinking Oliver Twist and instead take a look at my medieval 'enriched gruel': oatmeal cooked in a rich broth with golden saffron and tenderly cooked pork. My modern twist is adding slow-cooked pig's cheeks served in an extravagant Pedro Ximenes sherry sauce. Original 15th-century recipe included.
