Cooking Instructions

1

Searing the Pork

In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the pork shoulder with salt and black pepper. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the pork and set aside.

2

Sautéing Vegetables

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

3

Building the Sauce

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, red wine, chicken broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Stir to combine.

4

Braising

Return the seared pork shoulder to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Let it braise for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender.

5

Finishing Touches

Once the pork is tender, remove it from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Meanwhile, you can reduce the sauce further if desired. Shred the pork and return it to the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
