Pork Ragu

A meaty pork Ragu.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Season the pork shoulder well with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large, heavy bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the pork on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until it is evenly seared. This will take a good 15 minutes. Remove pork to a large bowl or plate.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add the onions and garlic, stirring well to coat with the oil. Saute until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the pork back to the pot, raise the heat to medium-high, and pour in the wine. Let it boil for a minute before adding the tomatoes, bay leaves, and rosemary. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
  3. If using bulk sausage, break it into little clumps and add it to the pot. If using sausage links, remove the casings and squeeze the meat into the pot, breaking it up well. Give a good stir, cover, and simmer on low gently for 3 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Remove the meat to a cutting board and shred it. Return the meat to the pot and heat the ragu through. Adjust the salt if desired.
  4. Serve with cooked pasta and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
