Pork Shoulder Roast With Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• For the pork shoulder: One day before cooking, liberally salt the pork shoulder and refrigerate uncovered.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the pancetta and 6 sage leaves over medium heat until the pancetta renders its fat and gets crispy, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sage and pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside. Add the pork shoulder to the pancetta fat and brown the pork on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Add the garlic, carrots, rutabaga, turnips and onion and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, miso paste, rosemary sprigs and sage sprigs and cook for 1 minute more. Add the beer and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Return the pork to the pan and add the reserved pancetta and sage. Cover and braise in the oven until fork-tender, about 3 1/2 hours. Allow the pork to rest for 30 minutes in the liquid.
• For the fried parsley: Put 1/2 inch of oil in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until 350 degrees F. Add the parsley leaves and fry until crispy, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• For the fried onions: Put 1/2 inch of oil in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until 350 degrees F.
• Mix together the flour and cayenne in a shallow bowl. Dredge the onions in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Fry in batches until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• For the fried capers: Pat the capers dry with a paper towel. Fill a small saucepan with 1/2 inch of oil. Add the capers to the cold oil and turn the heat to medium. Cook until the capers are fried and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Remove the pork from the liquid and transfer to a cutting board. Slice the pork into 1-inch-thick pieces and transfer to a serving platter.
• Stir the vinegar into the braising liquid. Pour the sauce over the pork and top with the fried capers, fried onions, fried parsley, mint and cilantro.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350.
• 2. Season pork with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat 1 TBL oil over medium high heat. Add pork, fat side down, and cook, turning until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate.
• 3. Pour off fat, return pot to medium high and add 1 TBL oil. Add onion; cook until translucent, 5 minutes.
• 4. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add tomatoes; season with salt and pepper to taste. Add broth and vinegar and cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits. Return pork to pot with juices; sprinkle with paprika.
• 5. Bring mixture to boil over high heat. Cover, transfer to oven and cook 1 hour.
• 6. Remove from oven, with tongs, flip pork. Return to oven, uncovered, until tender, 1 hour, basting with pork juices every 15 minutes.
• 7. During the last 30 minutes of cooking the roast, put the potatoes, which have been cut up and tossed with about 2 TBL olive oil, salt and pepper and chopped parsley and rosemary, into the oven on a sheet pan.
• 8. Transfer pork to cutting board, let rest for 15 minutes. Slice pork and serve with tomatoes and sauce.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the pork all over with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
• In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the pork shoulder and sear until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes to the oil and stir to combine. Add the tomatoes, red wine and basil. Stir to combine, season with salt and lots of black pepper, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Cover, then transfer to the oven and cook until the pork falls apart when prodded with a fork, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Working directly in the pot, use two forks to shred the meat into long bite-size pieces. Stir the pork into the tomato sauce until it's evenly distributed. Ragù will keep refrigerated for 3 days or frozen up to 3 months.
