💡 Conseils de pro
- ✓Using a mix of pork shoulder and belly can add extra richness.
- ✓For a deeper flavor, you can brown the meat in two batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- ✓If you don't have a Dutch oven, use a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook on the stovetop over low heat, or transfer to a casserole dish for oven cooking.
