Milk Braised Pork Shoulder
In my previous post about The Purple Pig, one of the best items we ate was the Milk Braised Pork Shoulder. Lucky for me, the recipe for this dish is on the Purple Pig's website. I will be making an attempt at creating this dish in the way they did at the Purple Pig. If I can make it half as good as they did, it will be a raving personal success!!
Milk Braised Pork Shoulder
1 3 to 4 lb. Pork shoulder bone removed and cut into 8 oz. Pieces
1 small bunch fresh thyme
5 bay leaves
2 onion, peeled and quarted
1 carrot, peeled and kept in large pieces
2 gallons milk
2 gallons pork stock
salt
pepper
1 rib celery, cut into 3 large pieces
Tie a piece of string around each piece of pork to maintain a nice shape while cooking. In a large pot sear off pork shoulder (season liberally first). Add vegetables and herbs after meat is browned, add liquids and bring to a boil. Season and place in a 350° oven to braise. Should take 2-3 hours.
