Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Heat olive oil in a wide ovenproof pot over high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper. Sear 2 minutes per side. Add wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up brown bits. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a simmer. Transfer to oven and cook, covered, 3 hours, flipping pieces halfway through. Continue cooking, uncovered, until pork is tender enough to pull apart with a spoon and liquid is reduced by ⅓, about 1 hour more. Discard thyme and serve. Can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Shred, mix with cilantro and use for tacos.
Toss with marinara and serve with spaghetti.
Sauté until crispy and throw it in a salad with apples, goat cheese and walnuts.
