Pork Shoulder

Pub Spuds

Method

Pork Shoulder Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork

    In a large Dutch oven, heat a couple of tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the beer and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Stir in the brown sugar.

  5. 5

    Braise the Pork

    Return the pork shoulder to the pot. Cover and transfer to the oven. Braise for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

Pub Spuds Preparation

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    While the pork is braising, place the chopped potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water and add salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Vegetable

    Trim and wash the fresh seasonal vegetable. Steam or sauté according to preference until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
