MILK BRAISED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Season pork loin with salt and pepper. Heat oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat and brown pork loin on all sides. Slowly pour the milk in with the pork. Stir in the rosemary and garlic. Allow the milk to come to boil, then lower the heat to medium-low. Partially cover with the lid and cook until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour and 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove pork and set aside to rest.
• If the milk is not already a nutty brown color, increase the heat until the milk beings to brown. Spoon off any additional fat. Pour the water into the pan, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Slice the pork and serve with the milk sauce.

MILK-BRAISED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Season pork with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot (it should be just large enough to fit pork) over medium-high heat. Add pork, fat side down, and sear, turning as it browns, until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Drain fat from pot and wipe out any blackened bits.

PORK LOIN BRAISED IN MILK AND CREAM

Steps:

• Separate the ribs from the loin meat (most butcher counters will do this for you upon request). Set ribs aside. Tie the roast section with twine and season both sides of the roast and ribs with salt and pepper.
• Melt olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large dutch oven until foaming subsides. Sear pork roast and ribs, until all surfaces are well-browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer roast and ribs to a plate.
• Pour most of the fat out of the dutch oven and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add half of the sage leaves and sauté for 10 - 20 seconds. Slowly add the milk and cream. Add lemon zest and a few pinches of salt, to taste.*
• Bring to a simmer, stirring to loosen any pork drippings from the bottom of the pan, and nestle roast and ribs into the braising liquid. Cover, leaving the lid slightly vented. Gently simmer (regulating burner heat as needed) for 1 hour, turning roast and ribs every 30 minutes.
• Coarsely chop or tear the remaining sage leaves and stir into the braising liquid. Gently simmer for another hour with the lid partially vented, turning the meat every 30 minutes.
• Uncover the dutch oven and continue simmering the pork for an additional 1 to 1-1/2 hours, turning every 30 minutes.** The pork is finished when it is tender (a fork will slide in easily) and the braising liquid has reduced to a thick, golden-brown gravy.
• Remove the roast and ribs from the dutch oven. Discard the ribs and allow the roast to rest, loosely tented, on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Skim the braising liquid of any large pools of fat. (If desired, transfer gravy to a blender and puree until smooth, or use an immersion blender.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Remove twine from pork roast and carve into thin slices. Serve, drizzled with gravy and fresh lemon zest, passing additional gravy at the table.***

Pour sauce over pork, and serve immediately.

PORK BRAISED IN MILK AND CREAM

Steps:

• Place pork in a container, and rub all over with chopped sage and chopped garlic. Cover, and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, bring to room temperature. Scrape off and discard sage and garlic; season generously with salt and pepper.
• In a deep, heavy casserole or Dutch oven fitted with a lid, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add pork loin, and brown very well on all sides, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine milk, half-and-half and cream. Bring to a boil, then shut off heat. Using a vegetable peeler, remove peel from lemons in long strips. Set peel aside, and reserve fruit for another use.
• When pork is browned, transfer it to a plate and discard fat that's in casserole. Reduce heat to medium, and add butter to pan. When it is foamy, add garlic cloves. Stir until lightly browned on edges. Add sage leaves, and stir to coat. Put pork back in casserole, and pour in enough of the warm milk mixture to come 1/2 to 2/3 up the sides of pork. Bring to a simmer, add lemon zest and season to taste with salt.
• Partly cover, and simmer until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees (about 15 to 30 minutes; cooking time will vary according to shape of roast and degree of browning). Liquid will form a skin and custard around pork. Shut off heat, and allow to cool. Cover, and refrigerate until shortly before serving.
• To serve, remove pork from milk mixture and carve into 1/8-inch slices. Meanwhile, place casserole over medium heat and reduce liquid to a soupy custard. While the liquid is still a little loose, return sliced pork to casserole and spoon sauce on top. Allow pork to heat through. Serve, spooning some custard, lemon zest and sage on top and sprinkling with coarse salt.

PORK LOIN BRAISED IN MILK

Steps:

• Heat oil and 1 tbsp. of the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat until butter melts. Add pork, fat side down, and cook until browned on all sides, 2-3 minutes per side.
• Pour off fat from casserole, reduce heat to medium, and add the remaining 2 tbsp. of the butter. When butter melts, add half the sage leaves and fry for a few seconds. Slowly add milk and cream (**Hands well back, as it will spatter and steam!) Add lemon zest, season with a bit of salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low to low, partially cover pot with lid, and gently simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning pork after 30 minutes. If liquid in pot gets too low, add a splash of warm water. Check meat for doneness starting at about 45-50 minutes of cooking time, with a meat thermometer. It is done when it reaches 145-150° F. Remove meat to a cutting board and tent with foil. Let rest.
• Meanwhile, add the remaining sage leaves to the pot and using a wooden spoon, stir and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen all the browned goodness at the bottom. As you do, the gravy will gradually become darker and thicker. If it gets too thick, add a bit more milk to thin. Taste and add salt and pepper, to taste.
• After meat has rested 10 minutes or so, thinly slice and place on a serving patter. Spoon warm sauce over meat.

PORK CHOPS BRAISED IN MILK

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, pepper, granulated onion and garlic, and herb seasoning in a zip-lock bag, add chops, and shake to coat. Remove chops to a plate and transfer remaining flour mixture to a small bowl and stir well into that 1/2 C of the milk.
• In a skillet large enough to hold the chops without crowding, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat and brown the chops about 3 minutes on each side. After the first side is browned, turn the chops, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms and continue browning for the 3 minutes.
• Add the oregano and rosemary and the flour-milk mixture and stir well. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occassionally.
• Add the remaining milk, stir and cover again. Cook for another 30 minutes, stirring occassionally.
• Remove chops to platter and stir the remaining sauce well (it has a slightly curdled appearance which is lessened by further stirring). Continue cooking until the sauce reduces to the desired consistency. 5 minutes of cooking will yield about 1/2 C of thick gravy.
• Pour gravy over chops, or serve on the side for rice or potatoes. Sprinkle gravy with parsley or scallions, if desired.

PORK LOIN BRAISED IN MILK

Steps:

• Combine the rosemary, sage, garlic, and salt and pepper in a small bowl and rub it all over the pork. Place the pork on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours.
• Place a medium heavy pan that will hold the roast somewhat snugly over medium heat and add the butter and oil. When the butter begins to foam, add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly golden on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. (Keep your eyes on the butter so it doesn't burn and reduce the heat a bit if needed.)
• Add 1 cup of the milk and stir to loosen the browned bits attached to the bottom of the pan. As soon as the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan, and simmer until almost all the milk has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Add 1 more cup milk and continue cooking, basting and turning the meat a few times, until most of the milk has evaporated. Cook the pork in this manner, adding the milk 1/2 to 1 cup at a time, until it reads 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 hours. (The pork can be cooked up to this point 1 hour or so ahead. In that case, cook only until it reaches 155 degrees F, because it will keep on cooking as it sits in the hot pan juices.)
• Remove the lid and raise the heat to high. If no more milk is left in the pan, add 1/2 cup or so more. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to release the browned bits and turning the pork once or twice, until most of the milk has evaporated and the meat has a rich, golden brown color. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for about 10 minutes while you finish the sauce.
• Spoon off some of the fat from the pan. Add 1/3 cup water and stir quickly, over medium heat, scraping the bottom of the pan until only the brown glazed clusters of milk particles remain.
• Cut the meat into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve topped with a bit of the pan juices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325F. Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and set aside. In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the fennel bulbs and leeks and cook, stirring every minute, until the layers of the leeks begin to fall out of their rings and the fennel pieces soften slightly, about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together the salt and thyme. Rub the salt mixture all over the pork. Push the fennel and leeks to one side of the Dutch oven. Place the pork on the empty side and sear each side of the roast until deeply golden, about 4 minutes per side, stirring the side with the veggies often to keep them from burning. Add the stock to the pan and stir, scraping up any dark brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the milk, cream, bay leaves, thyme sprigs and fennel fronds and stir to combine. Cover the pot, leaving the lid ajar by about 1 inch. Place the pot in the oven and roast for about 2 hours, turning the pork every 30 minutes. Remove the lid and roast for an additional 30-45 minutes more or until a meat thermometer registers the meat at 145F. Remove from the oven. Gently remove the roast from the pot and set it aside on a platter. Pour contents of the pot through a mesh sieve placed over a large bowl. Press the bottom of another bowl over the solids in the sieve to help get all the juices out. Discard the solids. Pour the strained sauce back into the Dutch oven and place it on low heat. Add the wine and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Once the mixture is hot but not boiling, remove it from the heat and return the pork to the pot. Pull the roast apart into large chunks and serve with rice, bread, or polenta if desired.
