In reply to Nadine. Hi Nadine, I'm so sorry to hear it didn't work out. I think the most likely culprit is that the piece of pork you used did not have enough fat and connective tissue. When you braise meats for a long time, most of the moisture leaves the muscle tissue and if there isn't anything to replace the liquid, the meat will end up tough and stringy. The trick is to use a cut of meat with a lot of marbled fat, and connective tissue (gristle). These cuts would normally be very tough if cooked briefly, but through the magic of time and temperature, the fat and connective tissue break down, lubricating the meat, and making it fall apart tender.

Hey Marc, I tried making this, but the end result result was rather dry and... hard to eat (although the taste of the sauce still came a long way). I'm usually not THAT far off the mark making a recipe of yours for the first time. I'd love to see a video or more photos of it. Maybe this could be a candidate for a revamp?

Fortza Italia! I lived in Italy for three years and LOVE a good sugo. There's nothing like the aroma of a slowly simmering sauce wafting through the house...or greeting you at the door when you're coming in from stacking wood or raking leaves. It's the kind of meal that takes care of itself and never disappoints!

we need zesty, hearthy foods in cold weather. foods that can keep us warm from the inside:-)
I love fall, too. Colors, foliage, everything is almost magic during this middle season.
Love this place!

I liked way you transformed the dull photos to really great pictures. I wish I could see more of example. Have a safe trip home. Thanks again for visiting my blog.
