Steps
- 1
Preheat oven to 180c.
- 2
If the pork cheeks still have a lot of fat on them trim as much of the fat as you can. If you leave the fat on the cheek it'll make the dish quite greasy.
- 3
In a bowl add the flour then season with salt and pepper.
- 4
Coat the pork cheeks well in the seasoned flour one at a time.
- 5
Over a medium/high heat, heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Shake off any excess flour from the pork cheeks. Then add them to the olive oil and brown for 3-4 minutes on each side or until each side is golden brown. Transfer pork cheeks onto a plate and set aside.
- 6
Turn the heat down to medium then add the onions and fry until soft and translucent. Add in the garlic next and fry for another minute or so (don't burn the garlic).
- 7
Next add in the balsamic vinegar and wine. Bring to boiling point then turn it down to a simmer, continue simmering for another 5-10 until the liquid has thickened.
- 8
Transfer the pork cheeks to an ovenproof dish and transfer the rest of the contents that's in the saucepan to the ovenproof dish. Then add just enough stock to almost cover the pork cheeks.
- 9
Add in the rosemary, bay leaves and thyme to the pork cheeks.
- 10
Transfer the pork to the preheated oven and cook for 2 hours 30 minutes (note: I added the rest of the stock half way through cooking).
- 11
Once the pork cheeks are soft and tender remove them from the dish, transfer them to a plate and cover with foil.
- 12
Discard any of the rosemary and thyme sprigs aswell as the bay leaves.
- 13
Transfer the liquid and rest of contents back into a saucepan and continue to cook it for another 10-15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Skim any fat that's floating on top with a spoon.
- 14
Once the sauce is thickened, you can shred the pork cheeks, cut into pieces or serve as they are.
- 15
Boiled rice goes well with this dish as it'll absorb all the liquid.
