Braised Pork Shoulder

Braised pork shoulder is a comforting, savory dish where the pork cooks slowly in a flavorful liquid, resulting in rich, melt-in-your-mouth meat.

Ingredients:

• 1 bone-in or boneless pork shoulder (4-6 pounds)
• 1 onion, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup dry white wine (or beer)
• 1 tbsp thyme
• 2 bay leaves
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper. In a heavy Dutch oven or large oven-safe pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown the pork on all sides, about 10 minutes.
3. Remove the pork and set aside. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour in the wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Add the broth, thyme, and bay leaves.
5. Return the pork shoulder to the pot, cover, and transfer it to the oven. Braise for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender.
6. Once cooked, remove the pork and let it rest before shredding it with two forks. You can strain and reduce the cooking liquid for a flavorful sauce to drizzle over the meat.
