Recipe

Braised Pork with Lemon and Sage

Yield
6

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs boned pork shoulder roast, fat trimmed
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp fresh-ground pepper
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 fresh sage leaves
  • 3 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp grated lemon peel

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse pork and pat dry. In a small bowl, mix flour, salt, and pepper; sprinkle mixture over pork. Pour oil into a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat; add pork and turn to brown well on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer pork and any juices to a slow-cooker (at least 5 qt.).

  2. 2

    Let pan cool slightly, then add garlic and sage and stir over medium-low heat until garlic turns golden, about 1 minute. Add to the slow-cooker, along with milk and lemon peel.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook on high until pork is tender when pierced and sauce is golden brown and reduced by about half, 7 to 8 hours; about 3 hours before pork is done, uncover to crock to let the pan juices reduce and thicken.

  4. 4

    Transfer pork to a rimmed board and slice. Serve meat with sauce on the side.
