Wednesday
Meal: Slow-Braised Whole Pork Shoulder with Hatch Chile Peppers and Sweet Onions
Description: A manageable portion of bone-in pork shoulder is slow-braised low and slow with Hatch chile peppers and sweet onions until the meat is fall-apart tender and deeply flavorful. This dish takes several hours but requires minimal hands-on time, making it ideal for a relaxed midweek evening.
Sale items used: Whole Pork Shoulder Bone-In, Hatch Chile Peppers, Hatch Sweet Onions 3 lb bag
Prep time: 20 minutes active, plus 3 to 4 hours braising
Serving note: Purchase approximately 1.5 lbs of pork shoulder (ask the butcher to cut a smaller piece, or buy the smallest available and freeze the rest); use 2 Hatch chile peppers (about 0.25 lb) and roughly one-quarter of the 3 lb onion bag (about 0.75 lb of onions); make-ahead tip - braise in the afternoon and let it rest; it reheats beautifully the next day.
