What is Pork Ragu?
Pork ragu is a flavorful Italian dish made with slow-cooked, tender pieces of pork, typically pork shoulder or pork butt. The pork roast is braised or simmered for an extended period in a savory sauce that usually includes ingredients like tomatoes, onions, garlic, and herbs. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld and the pork to become extra succulent and super tender.Why This Recipe Stands Out
