Garlicky Pork with Greens (slow cooker)

Recipe By : Williams Sonoma

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time:

Categories : Crock Pot Pork

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

2 1/2 lbs boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of most-- fat, cut into 1.5” chunks

Sal t and freshly ground pepper, to taste

2 Tbs olive oil

1 large yellow onion, finely chopped

-- (I did large dice)

2 fresh thyme sprigs

15-20 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole

1 tsp minced fresh rosemary

2/3 cup dry red wine (I used a very inexpensive Pinot Noir)

1 Tbs red wine vinegar

2/3 cup beef or chicken stock (I used chicken broth)

1 1/4 lbs kale, tough stems removed and cut into 1” strips

White Bean Salad1 can (15 oz) white beans, rinsed-- and drained (I like cannellini beans)

3 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

1 Tbs red wine vinegar

2 Tbs finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

1/4 red onion, sliced paper thin

1/4 tsp salt

Several grinds of pepper

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Stir

-- to combine, then taste and adjust the seasonings.

1. Season the pork generously with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan

over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. When the oil is hot, working in

batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, add the pork and sear, turning

as needed, until well browned on all sides, 6 to 7 minutes total. Using a

slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a plate.

2. Pour off most of the fat from the pan and return it to medium-high heat.

Add the onion and thyme, and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add

the garlic and rosemary and cook for 1 minute more. Pour in the wine and

vinegar and stir to scrape up the browned bits from the pan bottom. Transfer

the contents of the pan to a slow cooker. Add the stock and pork and stir to

combine. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, stirring 2-3 times during the

first two hours, if possible (I didn't).

3. Stir in the kale, re-cover and cook for 30 minutes to 1 hour more. The

pork and kale should be very tender.

4. Using a slotted spoon, divide the port and kale among warmed individual

plates. Using a large spoon, skim off the fat from the braising liquid, then

drizzle some of the liquid over the meat. Top each serving with a large

spoonful of the accompanying white bean salad. Serve immediately.
