Sunday Dinner, Monday Lunch: Seared and Braised Pork with Red Wine

6 Nov

I’m taking lunch with me to work a lot more. It’s a no-brainer, since it helps save money and keeps me from tossing leftovers when I forget to eat them and they go bad. So the list “15 Meat Dishes That Are as Good or Better the Next Day,” p. 760, caught my attention and led me to the braised pork with red wine dish–that, and the fact that I never really cook pork, but love to eat it.

This is a lot like making brisket, and as such the end result has a briskety vibe to it. You brown the meat first if you like, (it’s boneless pork shoulder), remove it from the pan, pour off most of the fat, add some carrots and garlic and then a lot of fruity red wine and some stock. Return the meat to the pot, let it bubble gently for a couple hours (with the lid on, something Bittman doesn’t really mention in the recipe), and you’re pretty much done. It’s a little time consuming but it’s not hard by any stretch. I served it over macaroni, because I had no egg noodles. With Quick Cooked Bok Choy, which I’ve made a few times before and is now a go-to. Bok Choy is the best.

And Bittman’s right about it tasting better the next day. This was very good when I made it for dinner on Sunday, even better when I brought it for lunch on Monday, and downright incredible when I brough the last of it to work for lunch on Wednesday.
