Pork and Shiitake Mushroom Ragu image

Italian, paleo, omg, ragù! This was simply amazing. We are at our lake house for the summer and our friends came over. I had a super busy day and while at the butcher deciding what to make, the pork butt looked amazing. I did serve this dish with a creamy polenta. I am Italian! What can I say... if you want to keep it paleo, then serve with sauteed vegetables or sauteed garlic spinach (I do that a lot). This freezes well and taste even better the next day! You can also prepare this meal in your slow cooker.

Time 4h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds boneless pork shoulder (Boston Butt) roast, cut into chunks
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 bay leaves
1 (28 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste, or more to taste
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced

Steps:

  • Season pork with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add oil. Stir pork into the hot oil and cooking, turning often with tongs, until pork is evenly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour chicken broth over the pork and scrape any brown bits of food off the bottom of the Dutch oven using a wooden spoon; stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and bay leaves.
  • Mix tomatoes and tomato paste into pork mixture, stirring and pressing paste along the side of the Dutch oven to help dissolve it. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir, cover, and cook for 2 1/2 hours.
  • Remove Dutch oven from heat and shred pork into the tomato sauce using 2 forks. Add mushrooms; cover and simmer for 1 hour more. Remove bay leaves.

I love this ragu! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it over pasta, but it's also great on rice or mashed potatoes.

This ragu is a great way to use up leftover pork. I had some leftover pork roast, and I used it to make this ragu. It turned out great! The meat was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was thick and flavorful.

I made a few changes to the recipe. I used ground turkey instead of pork, and I added some chopped carrots and celery to the sauce. It turned out great! The turkey was lean and healthy, and the vegetables added a nice sweetness to the sauce.
