Method

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large casserole and brown the pork shoulder all over for 8-10 minutes, then lift out onto a plate.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic, sage and rosemary to the pan and cook for 1 minute, then pour in the white wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Return the pork to the pan and pour over the milk, then bring to a very gentle simmer.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook on the lowest heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and cooked through with no pink remaining and the milk has reduced into a thick, lightly curdled sauce.

  5. 5

    Season with black pepper and serve with the sauce spooned over.
