Pairing: Pork and Rich Meats

Recipe

Ingredients

  • Pork roast or pork belly (2-3 lbs): The base protein, offering rich, tender flavors.
  • Garlic (4 cloves, minced): Adds aromatic depth to the dish.
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme): Infuses the pork with savory, earthy flavors.
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons): Helps to sear and lock in flavors while roasting.
  • White wine or broth (1 cup): Adds moisture and flavor during the cooking process.
  • Salt and pepper (to taste): Essential for seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pork: Season the pork with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and fresh herbs. Allow it to rest for about 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
  2. Sear the pork: In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the pork on all sides until golden brown.
  3. Roast the pork: Transfer the pork to a roasting dish, pour white wine or broth over it, and cover with foil. Roast at 350°F for about 2 hours, or until tender. Remove the foil in the last 30 minutes to achieve a crispy exterior.
  4. Serve: Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Pair with your choice of wine​
