Larrosto di Maiale ha Cucinato nel Latte (Pork Roast Cooked in Milk)
- 3 strips Bacon
- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1- 1/2 pound Pork Roast
- Salt And Pepper
- 1 whole Large Yellow Onion Roughly Chopped
- 2 stalks Celery, Roughly Chopped
- 3 whole Carrots, Roughly Chopped
- 5 cloves Garlic, Roughly Chopped
- 1 cup White Wine
- 2 whole Bay Leaves
- 2 Tablespoons Parsley, Roughly Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Chicken Bouillon
- 2 cups Half-and-half
- 3 cups Whole Milk
- In a large Dutch oven, cook bacon strips until crispy.
- Remove from the pot and crumble when cool; leave the drippings in the pot.
- Add the olive oil and heat over medium high heat.
- Take the pork roast and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
- Brown the roast really well on all sides until a nice golden color.
- Remove from the pot but leave the olive oil and bacon grease.
- Roughly chop the onion and add it to the pan until just soft.
- Add the celery and carrot and cook for about another 2 minutes, then add the garlic to roast for about 30 seconds.
- To the pot, add the wine to deglaze the bottom.
- Add the herbs and bouillon and let it cook for about another 2-3 minutes until wine is reduced a little bit.
- Add the pork roast and the crumbled bacon back into the pan and add the half-and-half and milk and salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook on medium/low for about 2-2 1/2 hours until pork is tender.
- Dont worry if about halfway through you open the pot and the milk has curdled; its supposed to do that!
- You might want to keep another cup of milk handy; sometimes it cooks down.
- Open the pot and stir the pork and milk every once in a while so it doesnt stick to the bottom of the pot.
- After the pork is finished cooking, let it sit in the juices for about 15-20 minutes before you take it out and cut it.
- I usually fish out the bay leaves and take an immersion blender to the pot and serve the milk gravy over the top.
- If you dont have an immersion blender, dont worry, you can just scoop it on top; the blender just makes it a little bit creamier.
- Mangia!
