Braised Pork Shoulder in Adobo with Pickled Vegetables

After growing up in the Midwest, where thick and sticky barbecue sauce coats all braised and pulled pork, it was refreshing to learn this less cloying, more umami-driven recipe from chef Carlo Lamagna at Clyde Common in Portland, Oregon. Tangy adobo is a big flavor, and the pickled vegetables that accompany this dish are used to bring out the vinegar and add some texture to each bite. This dish, inspired by Carlo’s Filipino heritage, is best served family style right out of the Dutch oven with plenty of jasmine rice to go with it. When you pair this dish with an IPA, you help your palate learn how hops and bitterness pair well with a little bit of spice as well as the acidity of a pickling process.
