  • Sear the pork before braising: Searing the pork in a hot pan before braising it helps to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives the pork its flavor, so be sure to use a liquid that you enjoy the taste of. Some good options include chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth. You can also add herbs, spices, and vegetables to the braising liquid for extra flavor.
  • Cook the pork until it is tender: The pork should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender. This can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the cut of pork that you are using.
  • Make the salsa verde while the pork is braising: The salsa verde is a great way to add freshness and brightness to the braised pork. It is made with fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil.

Conclusion:

Salsa verde braised pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the salsa verde is a great way to add freshness and brightness to the dish. Serve the pork with rice, potatoes, or your favorite vegetables.
