Method
-
Place pork belly, pork fat, and shoulder in a heavy flat-bottomed pot.
-
Add the water and the bouquet garni
-
Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally for 6 hours (good use of slow cooker)
-
Stir in the salt, pepper and Vouvray
-
Continue cooking for approximately 1 hour
-
Remove from heat and discard the bouquet garni
-
Once the meat is cool enough to handle also discard any pork fat pieces, shred further is necessary
-
Remember to preserve the natural filament, you want shreds not mush
-
While still warm, pack into a terrine and wrap in plastic wrap (think air-tight)
-
Feel free to shovel a little still-warm pork into your face
-
C'com!
-
You know you want it!
-
Place in the refrigerator and let it sit for 3 days before serving. (Once wrapped, do not unwrap)
-
Serve warm or room-temperature (warm at 250 degrees for 45 minutes) (I prefer warm)
-
Serve with a crusty bread and cornichons
