Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Season pork with 1 teaspoon salt. In a large, lidded dutch oven over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon oil.

Set aside at room temperature to macerate. Make carrot purée: In a small pot set over medium heat, bring minced onion, carrots and milk to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently until carrots are tender, about 15 minutes. Strain carrots, reserving cooking liquid. Carefully place hot carrots and half of cooking liquid in a blender and purée. Add remaining butter, maple syrup and a pinch of salt and purée until smooth. Transfer to a sauce pan and keep warm until ready to serve. When pork is ready, remove from oven. Set pork aside on a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, set Dutch oven over high heat and reduce braising liquid by half. (Buttermilk curds will have separated by this point.) Transfer half of braising liquid to blender and purée. To serve, divide carrot purée among four to six plates. Slice pork against the grain and set 1 or 2 slices atop carrot purée. Garnish with salad and drizzle pork with puréed braising liquid.
