Braised Pork (pic added in 3rd reply)

Cooked it for 5 hours, and HOLY shite, that is amazing. Served it with a savory sweet potato puree.

I know its pork and is very easy to make tender, but this stuff falls apart like I have never seen.

Served with roasted kale

That's something I've never tried...braised pork. Looks outstanding. I'll definitely be trying this recipe soon.

I did braised beef sandwiches a while back but left the beef slow cooking in the black iron pot on the stove. The cut was boneless short rib. Just melt-in-your-mouth tender.

My exact recipe (that I can remember)

about 2.5 lbs of pork stew meat. rubbed down with salt/pepper (you could brown them in a black iron with some oil to start off, if you want some crunch with the pork)

- cooked down one diced large onion & bell pepper, and 2 cloves of garlic in olive oil and butter

- added enough flour to make a good roux. Added 2 cups red wine, tbsp of tomato paste, and spices (I used fresh pepper, kosher salt, cayenne, cumin, paprika, and others, I forget what), cook down

- Add the meat and continue to brown

- add about three cups of water and cook back down

-cover and place in oven at 220 deg for 5 hours

-Cube two sweet potatoes and boil until tender. make mashed potatoes out of them, adding a little sugar, salt, pepper, butter, milk, cayenne to taste (needs to be semi-sweet with a bite, not spicy but not sweet, you don't want to make it take like sweet potato pie filling)

Oh man, that sounds awesome. I can’t remember if it’s the pork cheeks or the short ribs that Ruffinos does over sweet potato purée (I think it’s the pork cheeks), but the combo is so rich and delicious.

Looks like you were channeling your inner Mexican.IWEI!
