Time 1h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds pork shoulder roast, cut into chunks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
8 cups chicken stock, divided
1 (15 ounce) can pigeon peas, drained and rinsed
½ onion, finely chopped
¾ cup arborio rice
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Season pork with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Pour in 2 cups chicken stock. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer pork until is fork-tender, about 1 hour. Shred with a fork and transfer to a plate.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pot over medium heat. Add pigeon peas and onion; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in arborio rice. Pour in enough chicken stock to barely cover the rice; cook and stir until absorbed. Continue adding stock, stirring often, until each addition is absorbed and rice is tender yet firm to the bite, about 20 minutes.
  • Fold shredded pork into the rice. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.

I'm not usually a fan of pigeon peas, but they were cooked perfectly in this dish. They were soft and flavorful, and they paired perfectly with the pulled pork.
