Ingredients: 2 lbs pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into chunks; 1 onion, finely chopped; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 teaspoon dried rosemary; 1 bay leaf; Salt and black pepper, to taste; 1/2 cup white wine; Water; Crusty bread or crackers, for serving

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, sear the pork shoulder pieces until browned on all sides. This step helps to enhance the flavor of the rillettes.
Transfer the seared pork to a slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Pour in the white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Then, pour this mixture over the pork in the slow cooker.
Add enough water to just cover the pork in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until the pork is very tender and easily falls apart.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place it in a large bowl. Using two forks, shred the pork into small pieces.
Strain the cooking liquid from the slow cooker, reserving about 1/2 cup. Pour the reserved liquid over the shredded pork and mix well to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mixture into a jar or airtight container. Allow it to cool before refrigerating for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors meld together.
Serve the Easy Pork Rillettes Slow Cooked Pork Spread with slices of crusty bread or crackers. It's perfect for a casual gathering, a picnic, or a cozy night in with loved ones.
