Marinating Overnight
Drink 2012 Mount Majura Tempranillo Shiraz Graciano, Canberra District, ACT ($32)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 120°C. To make marinade, combine all ingredients in a jug and season with salt. Pour marinade over pork, cover and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, remove pork from marinade, discarding marinade, and pat dry with paper towel. Heat 1 tbs oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, for 10 minutes or until browned all over.
Place 1 cup smoking chips on a metal oven tray. Light chips using a kitchen blow torch, then as soon as fire starts, blow it out. Place pork on a wire rack set over the smoking wood chips and place in the oven. Roast for 6 hours or until tender; meat should easily pull off from the bone.
Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until translucent. Add chipotle chillies and adobo sauce with all spices and cook for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add wine to deglaze pan, then add tomatoes and cook for 45 minutes or until mixture is thickened and reduced.
While pork is still hot, shred meat from bone, discarding bone, and stir into tomato mixture. Season, sprinkle with parsley and serve with bread.
Note
• Chipotle chillies in adobo sauce are available from selected greengrocers and Mexican food shops.
