Tips:
- Choosing the right pork cut: For this recipe, pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best choice. It's a fatty, flavorful cut that will become tender and juicy when cooked slowly.
- Marinating the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids helps to infuse it with flavor and moisture. The longer you marinate the pork, the more flavorful it will be. You can marinate the pork for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Browning the pork: Browning the pork before braising it helps to develop a rich, caramelized flavor. Be sure to brown the pork in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until it's golden brown on all sides.
- Choosing the right braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will flavor the pork as it cooks. You can use a variety of liquids, such as water, broth, wine, or beer. For this recipe, a combination of chicken broth and orange juice is used.
- Adding fruit: The fruit in this recipe adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the pork. You can use a variety of fruits, such as pineapple, peaches, or apricots. Be sure to choose fruits that are firm and ripe.
- Cooking the pork: The pork should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender. This will take about 2-3 hours on low heat.
Conclusion:
Fruited pork picante is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors from the fruit and the tender, juicy pork is sure to please everyone. Serve this dish with rice or mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetables.
