Pig Parts Sugo Recipe

  1. Rinse the smoked parts briefly, then pat dry and place in a 3-quart saute pan. Place pan over low heat and cook, turning occasionally, until fat begins to render out, about 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium high and add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add dried red chili peppers, if using.
  2. Add tomatoes along with their juice, then add the fresh pork parts. Add enough broth to barely cover the pork. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a bare simmer. Cook with cover slightly ajar, stirring occasionally, until pork parts are tender, 2 to 3 hours. When pork is tender, increase heat to high and cook, stirring frequently, until sauce has reduced to a rich, thick consistency.
  3. Remove from heat and allow parts to cool in sauce until cool enough to handle. Transfer the parts to a cutting board and pick through them to remove any bone or bits that are too fatty. Chop meat and cartilage roughly and return it to the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sugo can be served immediately or for best flavor, store for up to five days in the refrigerator. Serve hot sugo with grated Pecorino or parmesan over a thick, robust pasta like penne rigate, tagliatelle, or pappardelle.
