Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs pork shoulder cut into chunks
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 28 oz canned tomatoes crushed
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • to taste salt and pepper

Instructions 

  1. 1. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil and brown the pork shoulder chunks on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. 2. In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. 3. Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  4. 4. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, oregano, and basil. Stir to combine.
  5. 5. Return the browned pork to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it braise for about 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and falling apart.
  6. 6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over pasta or polenta.
