    Method

    1. 1

      Salt the pork and brown all over in oil and butter in a Dutch oven.

    2. 2

      Pour off most fat, add garlic, sage and zest for 1 minute.

    3. 3

      Add milk and cinnamon and bring to a simmer.

    4. 4

      Cover partly and braise at 150°C (300°F), turning occasionally, until very tender and well past 63°C (145°F), 2.5–3 hours; the milk will form golden curds.

    5. 5

      Slice and spoon the curdy sauce over (whisk or blend it smooth if you prefer).
