How to Make Braised Pork
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat.
- Add a 2-3 lb pork loin, 1 large onion (chopped), and 4 cloves garlic (minced). Brown the pork well on all sides, about 15 minutes, until nicely caramelized.
- Pour in 2 cups whole milk, 1 teaspoon juniper berries, and 4 sprigs fresh sage.
- Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender. Turn the pork several times to ensure even browning and basting.
- Carefully transfer the pork to a serving dish and keep it warm.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer the remaining liquid, uncovered, until it reduces to a light brownish sauce, about 10-15 minutes. Skim off any excess fat.
- Slice the pork into thick slices and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the juniper berries and sage. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle the strained sauce over the pork slices. Garnish with fresh sage leaves and serve with extra sauce on the side.
