Braised Pork Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   Season the pork shoulder with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides until browned. Remove the pork and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   In the same pot, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Apples

   Add the sliced apples to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

4. 4

   Make the Glaze

   In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, maple syrup, and chicken broth. Pour this mixture into the pot.

5. 5

   Braise the Pork

   Return the seared pork to the pot and add fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Let it braise for about 2 to 3 hours until the pork is tender.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the pork is tender, remove it from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the apple and glaze from the pot.
