Slow-cooked pork shoulder and tomatoes, sherry & spices

This pork dish is meltingly tender after 90 minutes in the oven. The crisp freshness of the red pepper salsa, scattered over the finished pork, takes this from a good dish to a great one.

Method

1.Preheat oven to 150°C.

2.Heat olive oil in a cast-iron, oven-proof, flameproof casserole over a high heat. When very hot, add the diced pork and brown on all sides. Reduce the temperature to medium. Add the onions and garlic and continue cooking a further 5 minutes before sprinkling in the flour. Stir well.

3.Add all remaining ingredients (except the red pepper salsa). Bring to a simmer and stir gently. Cover with a lid and place in the oven for up to 90 minutes or until the pork is quite tender.

4.Remove lemon peel, then taste to check seasoning. Add a little more salt or pepper if necessary.

5.To make the salsa, simply toss the sliced pepper together with olive oil and vinegar, leave for 5 minutes, then season. Sprinkle all over the pork and serve.
