Simmered Pork Sholuder with red wine




When I got a chunk of shoulder pork, usually put some salt on the meat and keep it in the fridge. It can be stored for 1-2 weeks. The salted pork marinated olive oil, cloves of garlic and ground black pepper for 0.5 to 2 hours. Heat the big pan with high heat and roast them without adding oil. After that add some vegetables( this time, I added onions, paprika and mushroom) and
stirred well. Pour 500cc red wine into the pan. Place the lid and simmer more than two hours with low heat.
You don't need to season anything since the salted pork has already marinated.
Serve with grilled vegetables. Drizzle lemon juice when you eat.
Grilled vegetables should be different texture such as chewy or solid since the pork is very tender and soft. The contrast is also including the taste. :-)

The side dish is "Broad bean and potato Salad". Boil potatoes and broad bean until just tender. Place them in a bowl. Cut potatoes roughly using a folk. Add sliced red onion. Drizzle extra vergine olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper over them. Mix them well.
I think potato salad should be served with warm temperature. Not too cold, not too hot. Just cooked ones are the best taste ever!

Taro's rate:none
He's got a fever and has 2 canker sore in his tonsil. He cannot eat any solid food. Poor Taro-chan..... As his doctor says this is typical cold in summer called " herpangina".
He has to be absent from school until he's completely cured of the sick.
