Pork Braised in Milk

Oh my goodness- good! This sounds weird (you will understand once you make it), but fight for your milk cluster bits. They go fast!  It takes a long while to make but its a leave on the stove and check on it occasionally situation.  I'm making this the next time my in-laws visit.

Pork Braised in Milk
Adapted from Dinner: A Love Story

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 pound pork loin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 1/2 cups whole milk

In a pot that is just large enough to whole the pork loin in a single layer, heat the butter and oil. Brown the meat on all sides. 

Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer.  Leave the lid slightly open.  Cook for 2 hours, occasionally turning the meat. 

By the time the 2 hours is up the milk should be in small brownish clusters. If not, check to make sure the meat is cooked then remove to a cutting board and turn up the heat until small brownish clusters form. 

Remove meat to a cutting board, add 2 tablespoons of warm water to the pot and turn the heat to high.  Boil the water away while scraping all the cooking residue in the pot.  Spoon the sauce with the milk clusters on top of the pork.
