I buy a big piece at the Saturday market, throw it in a pot with some herbs and wine and cook it until it's fork-tender. Braising pork shoulder is foolproof and mostly hands-off. Plus, it's hugely versatile, setting me up for a week of dinners: sliced with polenta and topped with sauce, sandwiched in a baguette with julienned veggies, stirred into pasta, tucked into tortillas with avocado, transformed into soup with chopped vegetables, or just enjoyed as a classic sandwich that uses savory dutch oven pulled pork<\/a>.\r\n\r\nLearning how to cook a pork shoulder is simple.
