Preparation

In The Oven

Pulled pork shoulder

  1. Place oven rack in the lowest position. Preheat oven to 160 °C (300 °F).
  2. In a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, heat oil and brown pork on all sides. Season with salt and pepper. Add carrots, celery, leek and water. Cover and bake for about 3 hours, turning meat halfway through cooking, until it shreds easily with a fork. Set shoulder aside on a plate and let cool. Remove any fat and shred meat.
  3. Add remaining ingredients to pot and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring. Add meat and mix well. Season to taste. Set aside.

On the stove

Shallot compote

  1. While cooking meat, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter with oil. Add shallots and sauté, stirring frequently, until caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Add vinegar and reduce until almost dry.
  3. Add duck stock and reduce until almost dry. Add to pot with shredded meat.

Sauce

  1. While meat is cooking, in a skillet over medium-high heat, brown bacon for about 3 minutes. Add shallots and mushrooms. Continue cooking until lightly browned.
  2. Deglaze with red wine and add duck stock. Reduce until sauce thickens and turns slightly syrupy. Keep warm.

Scallops

  1. Season scallops with salt and pepper and wrap in bacon. Pierce with a toothpick. Refrigerate as needed.

Serving

  1. Preheat oven to 180 ºC (350 ºF).
  2. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place meat in metal moulds and bake for 10–15 minutes.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown scallops, starting with bacon and then both sides of scallops. Keep scallops nearly raw in the middle. Remove toothpicks.
  4. Transfer pulled pork to plates and drizzle with sauce. Add scallops. If desired, serve with steamed asparagus, pickled onions, and microgreens of your choice.
