1 bone-in pork shoulder, about 4 lb
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 cups whole milk
6 cloves of garlic
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 fresh bay leaves
Preparation:
1. Season the pork shoulder with salt and black pepper.
2. Wrap the pork in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
3. Place pork in a heavy pot and add the rest of the ingredients.
4. Cover and place the pot in a preheated, 275 degree oven, and cook for about 4 hours, or until very tender.
5. Strain the braising liquid, remove some of the fat, and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Serving Suggestions:
Pull meat from bone and add to braising liquid before serving, then toss the meat with cooked, fresh pasta and grated pecorino. Or, chill and thinly slice the pork, re-warm it in braising liquid, and serve with boiled potatoes and arugula.
