Pork Brisket Braised In Milk Recipes

MILK-BRAISED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Season pork with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot (it should be just large enough to fit pork) over medium-high heat. Add pork, fat side down, and sear, turning as it browns, until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Drain fat from pot and wipe out any blackened bits.
• Tie together sage, rosemary, and bay leaves into a bouquet with kitchen twine. Melt butter in pot over medium heat. Add herbs, garlic, and lemon zest and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return pork, fat side up, to pot, along with any accumulated juices. Pour milk and cream over pork, raise heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Partially cover pot, reduce heat, and simmer, undisturbed, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of pork registers 140 degrees, about 1 hour.
• Transfer pork to a carving board and let rest at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes. Increase heat to medium and simmer braising liquid until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, 12 to 15 minutes. Discard herbs and lemon zest. Cut pork crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve with milk gravy.

PORK BRISKET BRAISED IN MILK

Steps:

• Rub the pork with salt, pepper, sage and thyme on both sides. Roll tightly and secure with butcher's twine. Cover loosely with plastic and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove roast from refrigerator and preheat oven to 325°F for 20 minutes. Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add oil or lard. When fat is shimmering but not smoking, add pork roast. Brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. When turning to the last side, add garlic and allow to saute alongside the roast.
• Remove meat to a plate. Remove all but 1 tbsp of fat from pot; leave the garlic in the pot. Add milk and deglaze, scraping the browned bits (fond) from the bottom of the pot. Add bay leaves, lemon juice and lemon zest, and bring to a boil. Return the roast to the pot, skin side up, cover, and transfer to oven for 1 hour. Remove cover and roast another 30 minutes, until internal temperature is at least 160°F The skin should be golden-brown and crisp. Remove pot from oven.
• Transfer roast to a baking sheet. Turn on broiler and place roast under broiler 30-60 seconds to further crisp the skin.
• Meanwhile, place pot over medium heat and simmer 5-7 minutes, until light-brown curds form. Remove and discard bay leaves.
• Slice the roast 1/2" thick, spoon sauce over and serve. Leftovers make good sandwiches.

PORK LOIN BRAISED IN MILK

Steps:

• Combine the rosemary, sage, garlic, and salt and pepper in a small bowl and rub it all over the pork. Place the pork on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a few hours.
• Place a medium heavy pan that will hold the roast somewhat snugly over medium heat and add the butter and oil. When the butter begins to foam, add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly golden on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. (Keep your eyes on the butter so it doesn't burn and reduce the heat a bit if needed.)
• Add 1 cup of the milk and stir to loosen the browned bits attached to the bottom of the pan. As soon as the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan, and simmer until almost all the milk has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Add 1 more cup milk and continue cooking, basting and turning the meat a few times, until most of the milk has evaporated. Cook the pork in this manner, adding the milk 1/2 to 1 cup at a time, until it reads 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 hours. (The pork can be cooked up to this point 1 hour or so ahead. In that case, cook only until it reaches 155 degrees F, because it will keep on cooking as it sits in the hot pan juices.)
• Remove the lid and raise the heat to high. If no more milk is left in the pan, add 1/2 cup or so more. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to release the browned bits and turning the pork once or twice, until most of the milk has evaporated and the meat has a rich, golden brown color. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for about 10 minutes while you finish the sauce.
• Spoon off some of the fat from the pan. Add 1/3 cup water and stir quickly, over medium heat, scraping the bottom of the pan until only the brown glazed clusters of milk particles remain.
• Cut the meat into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve topped with a bit of the pan juices.

MILK-BRAISED PORK

Steps:

• Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. In a 4-quart heavy kettle heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown pork on all sides, about 5 minutes total. Carefully add milk and cook pork, covered, at a bare simmer 2 hours. Continue to cook pork, partially covered, at a bare simmer until very tender, about 1 hour. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Season cooking liquid generously with salt and pepper and boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Thinly slice pork and transfer to a platter. Skim fat from cooking liquid and spoon liquid over pork.

PORK LOIN BRAISED IN MILK

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat. Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, if necessary, sear until brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork to a large plate or baking sheet.
• Pour off fat from skillet, and return to low heat. Return pork and any accumulated juices to skillet; add milk and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until pork is cooked through and tender, turning once, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer pork to a serving platter, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Return skillet to medium-high heat, and bring remaining liquid to a boil. Whisk together cornstarch and the water in a small bowl; whisk into liquid in skillet, and boil 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a blender or food processor. Add thyme leaves, and puree until smooth. Pour sauce over pork, and serve immediately.

PORK LOIN BRAISED IN MILK

Steps:

• Season pork with 2 teaspoons salt and pepper. In a small heavy pot just wide enough to fit pork loin, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Pour off fat in pot; wipe out pot and let pot cool slightly. Add milk and nutmeg. Return pork to pot.
• Bring milk mixture just to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover pot and simmer gently, turning meat every 30 minutes, until meat is tender but not falling apart, about 2 hours. Transfer meat to a cutting board. Let rest for 10 minutes.
• Simmer liquid in pot, uncovered, until reduced by two-thirds and small golden-brown curds form throughout sauce, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cut pork into 1/3" slices. Arrange on a serving platter. Spoon sauce over and around pork.

4-HOUR MILK-BRAISED PORK

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F / 180°C Place the oven rack in the middle position.
• In a large ovenprrof saucepan, brown the pork roast in the butter and then season with salt and pepper.
• Add the milk and bring to the boil. Add the vegetables and nutmeg.
• Cover the saucepan and transfer to the oven for 2 1/2 hours. Dont worry if the milk looks like its curdling at first; you will be straining the liquid through a sieve. (I'm guessing at this point if you dont have a saucepan that can be placed straight into the oven that you could transfer the contents to a lidded casserole or baking dish.).
• Uncover and then continue cooking until the sauce is reduced by a little less than half. About 1 1/2 hours. Turn the pork shoulder every 20 minutes.
• Remove the meat and set aside.
• Strain the braising liquid. Whisk the sauce and adjust the seasoning.
• Serve the pork on a large platter. Suggested to serve with mashed sweet potatoes to enjoy with the gravy and a green vege.

PORK CHOPS BRAISED IN MILK

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, pepper, granulated onion and garlic, and herb seasoning in a zip-lock bag, add chops, and shake to coat. Remove chops to a plate and transfer remaining flour mixture to a small bowl and stir well into that 1/2 C of the milk.
• In a skillet large enough to hold the chops without crowding, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat and brown the chops about 3 minutes on each side. After the first side is browned, turn the chops, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms and continue browning for the 3 minutes.
• Add the oregano and rosemary and the flour-milk mixture and stir well. Cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occassionally.
• Add the remaining milk, stir and cover again. Cook for another 30 minutes, stirring occassionally.
• Remove chops to platter and stir the remaining sauce well (it has a slightly curdled appearance which is lessened by further stirring). Continue cooking until the sauce reduces to the desired consistency. 5 minutes of cooking will yield about 1/2 C of thick gravy.
• Pour gravy over chops, or serve on the side for rice or potatoes. Sprinkle gravy with parsley or scallions, if desired.
