A fattier cut from a naturally raised animal is perfectly paleo, not to mention delicious, from time to time. Make this at least a day ahead to experience the full decadence!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 # pastured pork shoulder
- 1 large sweet onion, chopped
- ½ small pineapple, cored, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 large, ripe red tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 - 2 cups homemade chicken broth
Instructions
- Heat oil in Dutch Oven over medium high
- Place pork in oven and brown for two minutes on each side
- Remove pork from oven and place on plate, covered
- Add onion to oven and saute five minutes
- Add pineapple, tomatoes and pork
- Pour in wine and broth (use more if you prefer more liquid, less if more of a stew)
- Cover and bring to simmer
- Let simmer for two hours
- Remove from heat, let cool completely and refrigerate overnight
- The next day, place the oven over a medium flame and cook one more hour; pork will easily pull apart with two forks
- Shred all pork with two forks and serve on a bed of your favorite greens to enjoy the jus
