Chunky apples, plus onion, thyme, and cider make this comforting pork braise especially appropriate for the holidays.

Provided by Sabrina Snyder

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (5-pound; 2.3 kg) boneless pork shoulder (6 pounds; 2.7 kg if bone-in)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, cut into 2-inch (5 cm) wedges
2 cups (475 ml) apple cider
2 tart apples (I like Granny Smith), cored and cut into 2-inch (5 cm) cubes
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
Season the pork with the salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork and brown well on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Remove the pork and add the onion wedges to the pot. Cook for a few minutes, letting them get a little color but being careful not to let them burn.
Return the pork to the pot, placing it on the bed of onions. Add the cider and 1 cup (235 ml) water and bring to a simmer, then wedge the apple pieces under the meat among the onions. Toss in the thyme.
Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender, shreds easily, and is a deep brown color; the apples will have caramelized.

Tips:

Use a good quality apple cider for the marinade. This will give the pork a delicious flavor.
Don't overcook the pork. It is best to cook it to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Serve the pork with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, green beans, or applesauce.

Conclusion:

Apple cider marinated rack of pork roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. The pork is tender and juicy, and the apple cider marinade adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. You won't be disappointed!
