Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds pork shoulder
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for deep-frying
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme
  • 5 cups peeled frozen yucca
  • 2 cups cheese curds
  • 1/3 cup diced green onion
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. 1
    Season the pork with salt and pepper.
  2. 2
    In a heavy-bottomed pressure cooker, heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and sear the pork until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per side.

    Add the chicken stock, onion, carrot, wine, celery and thyme.
  4. 4
    Cover and cook until the meat shreds easily with a fork, 2 to 3 hours.

    Remove the pork from the cooking liquid, reserve the cooking liquid.
  6. 6
    Shred the pork and set aside.
  7. 7
    Transfer the cooking liquid to a medium saucepan and cook the jus until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
  8. 8
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
