Pork, Hunter-style
Ingredients
- about 5 to 6 lbs cubed pork
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 branch fresh rosemary, leaves removed and minced
- salt and pepper
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions, coarsely chopped
- 1 lb fresh mushrooms, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 oz bacon, finely diced
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 lb tomato puree
- 1 cup chicken stock (see accompanying recipe)
- pinch sugar
- pinch red chili flakes
Directions
- Combine the garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper and enough olive oil to make a somewhat dry paste. Divide the paste evenly among the pork and let sit, covered and refrigerated, for 2 hours.
- In a Dutch oven, heat 3 Tbsp olive oil over high heat until smoking. Brush the exess rub from the pork and sear meat in hot oil.
- Add the onions, mushrooms, and pancetta and cook over high heat until onions are golden brown and fat has been rendered from bacon.
- Drain the excess oil, then add the wine and stir the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to dislodge the browned bits.
- Add the tomato puree, chicken stock, sugar, and chili flakes and bring to a boil.
- Return the pork to the pan. Cook for 20 minutes, covered, then 15 to 20 minutes more uncovered. Remove from heat, top with sauce, and serve immediately.
