Shoulder pork

Pork shoulder is a cut of pork that is popular in many cuisines. It is often used in slow-cooked dishes, as it has a lot of connective tissue that breaks down and adds flavor to the dish. Pork shoulder pairs well with other cuts of pork, as well as with chicken. It is often paired with vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, and onions. Pork shoulder can also be paired with fruit, such as apples and apricots.
