Milk braised pork shoulder. Perfect for a winter night.

I followed reviewer's suggestions re: changing the order of the milk. After the braise, I set it on the stove top to reduce the liquid. As far as braises go, this one was relatively quick in the oven 2-3 hours and the sauce was very creamy. I threw in crushed red pepper and oregano at the end. The barest hint of cinnamon is intoxicating!http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Milk-Braised-Pork-Shoulder-with-Semolina-Gnocchi-354860

Thinking of changing my menu on Sunday from a ham to this. Did you make the Gnocchi?

What did you serve as sides? I am seriously considering making the ham later. I think my FIL will really enjoy this.

I didn't make the gnocchi, but would recommend trying them. I ran out of steam before I got to the g

to the gnocchi.

On the 2nd day, I tossed the milk braised pork shoulder with al dente-cooked riggatoni and a shower of cheese, then baked it. I can't keep out of it!

I will say the addition of the oregano was a good idea and would go forward with that again.

Caprile Pence serves a beef burgundy dish over a nice creamy scoop of polenta. it's divine and

would be equally divine with this pork dish, and that gnocchi recipe is pretty much just polenta.

Good call. I had that sauce over rigatoni for b-fast today. Divine!
