  • Yield: 6 servings

Pork shoulder is a beautifully marbled cut, which emerges fork-tender after long cooking at low temperatures. Rub down the meat with woodsy rosemary and pungent garlic for a boldly flavored, satisfying stew.

Ingredients

2 1/2pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1/2teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black peppper
2tablespoons olive oil
1large yellow onion, finely chopped
2sprigs fresh thyme
15 to 20 garlic cloves
1teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
2/3cup dry red wine
1tablespoon red wine vinegar
2/3 cup beef or chicken broth
1 1/4pounds kale, tough stems removed, leaves cut crosswise into wide strips

Instructions

  1. Season pork with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add pork and sear, turning as needed, until well browned on all sides, 6 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate.
  2. Pour off most of the fat and return pat to medium-high heat. Add onion and thyme and sauté until onion is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and rosemary and cook 1 minute. Add wine and vinegar and stir to scrape up any browned bits on the pan bottom. Transfer contents of pan to a slow cooker. Add broth and pork and stir to combine. Cover and cook on the low setting 5 to 6 hours, stirring two or three times during the first 2 hours. Stir in kale, re-cover, and cook 30 to 60 minutes. The pork and kale should be very tender.
  3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pork and kale to a platter. Skim fat from cooking liquid, then drizzle liquid over meat and serve. Serves 6.
