Bolognese Pork Loin Braised In Milk
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 4 to 5 lb. boneless pork loin with some fat on it, rolled and tied
- 4 to 5 c. milk
- 2 Tbsp. corn oil
- 1 Tbsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. fresh pepper
- 6 Tbsp. warm water
- Heat butter and oil over medium-high heat in a casserole with lid in which meat will fit snugly.
- When butter foam subsides, add pork fat side down.
- Brown meat thoroughly on all sides, lowering heat if butter starts to brown.
- Add salt and pepper and a little milk; wait until it becomes caramel color, then add enough milk to immerse 2/3 of the pork.
- Reduce heat to medium; cover casserole leaving top slightly ajar.
- Cook slowly for approximately 2 hours or until meat is easily pierced with fork.
- Turn and baste meat occasionally, adding any remaining milk.
- When meat is cooked, remove it to platter and keep warm.
- Milk in casserole should have coagulated into small nut-brown clusters.
- If not, raise heat to high, cook uncovered briskly until milk further reduces and darkens.
- Skim off fat and discard, being careful not to remove any coagulated milk clusters.
- Add warm water, turn heat to high, boil away all water while scraping and loosening all cooking residue in casserole.
- Taste and correct seasonings; remove trussing.
- Carve into 3/8-inch thick slices.
- Spoon sauce over pork and serve immediately.
