Pork Roast Braised with Milk and Fresh Herbs (Maiale al Latte )

Ingredients for Pork Roast Braised with Milk and Fresh Herbs (Maiale al Latte )

• 60ml olio extravergine di oliva

• 1 (4 1/2- to 5-pound) boneless pork shoulder roast (without skin), tied

• 3 juniper berries , crushed

• 2 large rosemary sprigs

• 2 large sage sprigs

• 1 sprig fresh or 4 dried California bay leaves

• 1 garlic clove, chopped

• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

• 120ml dry white wine

• 725ml whole milk

Preheat oven to 177°C with rack in middle.

Heat oil in a wide 5- to 6-quart ovenproof heavy pot over medium heat until it shimmers, then lightly brown roast on all sides with juniper berries and herbs, 8 to 10 minutes total. Add garlic and sprinkle roast with sea salt and 1/2 teaspoons pepper, then cook until garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Pour wine over roast and briskly simmer until reduced by half. Pour milk over roast and bring to a bare simmer.

Cover pot and braise in oven, turning roast occasionally, until tender (milk will form curds), 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Transfer roast to a carving board and loosely cover. Strain juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl (discard solids), reserving pot, and skim off fat. Return juices to pot and boil until flavorful and reduced to about 300g . Season with sea salt and pepper. Slice roast and serve moistened with juices.
