Ingredients
  

  • 2.2 lbs pork shoulder medallions or rouelle de porc
  • 500 ml dry white wine
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bouquet garni thyme, bay leaf, parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste salt and black pepper

Equipment

  • Large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot
  • Sharp chef’s knife and cutting board
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Tongs for turning the meat
  • Measuring cup and spoons

Method
 

  1. Pat the pork medallions dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the pork in batches until golden brown on all sides.
  3. Remove the browned pork and set aside. Add sliced onions and chopped garlic to the pot and sauté until translucent.
  4. Add sliced carrots and stir with the onions before pouring in the white wine, scraping up browned bits from the pot.
  5. Return the pork and any juices to the pot, bringing the liquid to a gentle boil before reducing heat to a low simmer.
  6. Cover the pot and let the pork braise for about 1 hour and 45 minutes until tender, checking for seasoning.
  7. Adjust the sauce if needed, letting it simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes to thicken before serving.

Notes

Don’t rush the sear on the pork; it’s crucial for developing flavor. This dish tastes even better the next day, making it perfect for meal prep. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Pair with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread to enjoy every bit of the sauce.
