Serve warm with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to preserve tenderness.

Variations:

Add garlic cloves during simmering for extra aroma.

Substitute the wheat beer with apple cider for a fruity twist.

Include smoked paprika in the seasoning for a smoky flavor.

FAQ:

Can I use another cut of pork?
Pork belly is best for this recipe due to its fat content, but pork shoulder can be a substitute with longer cooking time.

Is it necessary to fry the pork first?
Frying helps develop a crispy skin and deeper flavor but can be skipped for a softer texture.

What if I don’t have Herbs de Provence?
Use a mix of dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, and marjoram as a substitute.
