BRAISED PORK BUTT WITH GARLIC AND THYME
Steps:
- 1. Heat the oven to 325°F. Put large, deep ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork generously with salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, add the pork shoulder, fat side down, and cook, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes total. 2. Remove the pork from the pan, and pour off and discard all but 2 tablespoons of the fat. Add the carrots, onion, celery, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf to the pan, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add ½ cup of the wine and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the parsley, then return the pork shoulder to the pan and add 2 cups water. Cover the pan with foil and then the lid and transfer it to the oven. Cook until the pork is very tender and falling from the bone, about 2½ hours, turning the meat and basting it with the pan juices every 30 minutes or so. 3. Let the pork cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, then transfer it to a serving platter. Strain the pan juices into a medium saucepan, then skim off the fat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons wine, then turn the heat to high and bring the pan sauce to a boil. Drizzle the pan sauce over the pork and serve immediately. (Store leftover pork shoulder wrapped in foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to several days.)
