Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork shoulder and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork and set it aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

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

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Wine

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, red wine, bay leaves, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Sugo

    Return the pork shoulder to the pot, cover, and let it simmer on low heat for about 2 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender.

  5. 5

    Shred the Pork

    Remove the pork from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot and stir in the fresh basil.

  6. 6

    Serve the pork sugo over your favorite pasta or polenta. Enjoy!
