Pork Shoulder With Peach Melon Salsa Recipes

PORK SHOULDER WITH PEACH-MELON SALSA

Steps:

• Pork, part 1: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. In a bowl, add the salt, cumin, and brown sugar and stir to combine. Rub mixture all over the pork, making sure to use all of it. Place the pork fat-side up into a Dutch oven. Cover, place in the oven, and cook for 4 hours.
• Salsa: Place watermelon on a flat work surface. Slice off the top and bottom so they're flat; then place melon upright. Cut along the edge of the watermelon from top to bottom to remove rind; repeat all the way around until the rind is completely removed. Dice watermelon by cutting into ½-inch slices; stack slices and cut into ½-inch strips. Then cut the strips into a ½-inch dice. Place 2-3 cups of watermelon into a bowl and set aside. (Reserve remaining watermelon for another use.)
• Cut peaches into a ½-inch dice. Place 2-3 cups of peaches into the bowl with the watermelon and set aside. (Reserve any remaining peaches for another use.)

Zest then juice limes directly into the salsa bowl; then add the chipotle peppers, mint, and salt. Stir well, then cover and let rest for 30 minutes to marry ingredients. Remove 30 minutes before serving. Makes about 5 cups salsa. (Note: Salsa will keep for up to two days in the refrigerator.)
• Pork, part 2: After 4 hours, raise oven temperature to 400 degrees F and remove the lid. Cook uncovered, 1 more hour.
• Assembly: Remove pork from Dutch oven and let rest, 10 minutes. Slice against the grain in 1-inch slices, cutting around the bone. (Alternatively, meat can be pulled from the bone.) Place meat on a serving platter and drizzle with some of the meat drippings from the pot. Serve with peach-melon salsa on the side.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the lowest position and preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
