Risotto With Pigeon Peas And Pulled Pork (Risotto Con Gandules Y Pernil)

• 2 pounds pork shoulder roast, cut into chunks
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 8 cups chicken stock, divided
• 1 (15 ounce) can pigeon peas, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup arborio rice
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Season pork with salt and pepper.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Pour in 2 cups chicken stock. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer pork until is fork-tender, about 1 hour. Shred with a fork and transfer to a plate.
3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pot over medium heat. Add pigeon peas and onion; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in arborio rice. Pour in enough chicken stock to barely cover the rice; cook and stir until absorbed. Continue adding stock, stirring often, until each addition is absorbed and rice is tender yet firm to the bite, about 20 minutes.
4. Fold shredded pork into the rice. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
