I wanted to make something delicious and new, so I bought a frozen red wattle pig pork shoulder from Rustic Road Farm in Elburn, Wisconsin. I love to braise with my Le Creuset. This article from The New York Times was the basis of my recipe, but I made a few small changes. I used both fire roasted tomatoes from Whole Foods and a large can of San Marzano tomatoes.
