Creamy Braised Pork

This Creamy Braised Pork is best served over Home Ground Grits but would also pair nicely with mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.

Creamy Braised Pork falls deeply into the category of "comfort food" for me. I bet you'll feel the same way.

Equipment

Braising pan or large heavy bottomed sauté pan with lid

Ingredients

3-4 lb Pork shoulder or Boston butt
2 tsp Salt
½ tsp Black pepper
4 Bacon strips, diced
1 Onion, diced
1 tsp Salt
3 Garlic cloves, minced
2 cups Chicken stock
¼ cup Sour cream
¼ cup Milk
3 tbsp Fresh sage leaves, chopped

Instructions

Cut pork roast into 2" cubes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix together (I use my hands so it's evenly distributed). Set aside.
3-4 lb Pork shoulder or Boston butt, 2 tsp Salt, ½ tsp Black pepper
In braising pan (or large heavy bottomed sauté pan with lid) over medium heat, cook diced bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4 Bacon strips, diced
Turn up the heat to medium-high. Add pork cubes to pan and allow them to brown, only turning a few times to ensure all sides are browned.
3-4 lb Pork shoulder or Boston butt
Using tongs, remove pork and set on a plate or in a bowl.
Turn heat back down to medium. Add onion to pan and cook a few minutes to soften. Stir in salt and garlic, cook another minute.
1 Onion, diced, 1 tsp Salt, 3 Garlic cloves, minced
Add chicken stock, stir well. Slowly whisk in sour cream and milk. Whisk together until everything is blended well. Stir in sage leaves.
2 cups Chicken stock, ¼ cup Sour cream, ¼ cup Milk, 3 tbsp Fresh sage leaves, chopped
Add bacon and pork back to pan and reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer 1 hour.
After 1 hour, turn the heat up to medium-high and allow the sauce to reduce to a thick gravy, about 15-20 minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking.
Serve over home-ground grits or polenta, rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. This is the true definition of a nutritious comfort food.
