The red wine pork is a perfect example of how slow cooking can make meat like meat very tender. Shoulder, neck or other stew meats are particularly suitable for cooking this way, as the fatty texture and succulent meat soften and absorb the flavours of the red wine and herbs. They are also very economical cuts of carcass.
Red Wine Pork
The combination of red wine and tomato puree creates a richly flavoured sauce for meat. Sage is perfect for this recipe to add a herbal flavour. If the flavour of sage is a problem, use thyme. A cast iron pot is a great tool here – it distributes the heat evenly and keeps the moisture in, allowing the meat to braise perfectly without drying out. When braising, the combination of red wine and other flavours gives the meat depth, resulting in a tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork that's perfect with mashed potatoes or stewed vegetables. Red wine pork can also be served with cheese-flavoured polenta.
