Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• ½ cup dry red wine
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crumbled
• 1 carrot, peeled and diced
• 2 pounds pork shoulder roast, cut into cubes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Season pork with the rosemary, thyme, pepper, and salt. Heat oil in a large large Dutch over over medium-high heat. Sear pork in the hot oil until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Stir onion and carrot into pot; cook until onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Pour in the wine; stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the tomatoes and stock. Bring to a simmer; cook until meat is very tender and the sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes.
