Pork Shank

Broccolini

Peach Chutney

Rosemary Cherry Demi

Method

Pork Shank

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Shank

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the pork shank generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork

    In a large oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork shank and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the pot, cooking until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the Broth and Rosemary

    Pour in the chicken broth and add chopped rosemary. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Braise the Pork

    Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the pork is tender and falling off the bone.

Broccolini

  1. 6

    Prepare the Broccolini

    While the pork is braising, wash the broccolini under cold water and trim the ends.

  2. 7

    Sauté the Broccolini

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccolini, salt, and garlic powder. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still bright green.

Peach Chutney

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients for Chutney

    In a saucepan, combine diced peaches, chopped onion, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, cinnamon, and salt.

  2. 9

    Cook the Chutney

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes until the peaches are soft and the mixture thickens. Stir occasionally.

Rosemary Cherry Demi

  1. 10

    Prepare the Demi

    In a small saucepan, combine cherry preserves, red wine, chopped rosemary, and beef broth.

  2. 11

    Reduce the Sauce

    Simmer over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
