Braised Pork Roulade with Sauce

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb pork shoulder
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the 1.5 lb pork shoulder all over with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Roll it tightly and tie with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high. Sear the roulade until deeply browned on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 sliced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves; cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in 2 tbsp tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until it darkens slightly. Pour in 1 cup chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits.

5. 5

   Return the roulade to the pot, cover, and simmer gently over low heat until the pork is tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove the roulade and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and spoon the sauce over the top before serving.
