Recipe by Jenny Rosenstratch and Andy Ward If you prefer a smooth sauce, purée it in a blender. Serve with roasted potatoes and sautéed greens.

Ingredients

Servings 4

1 2-pound boneless pork loin, preferably with a 1/4" layer of fat
2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions

Season pork with 2 teaspoons salt and pepper. In a small heavy pot just wide enough to fit pork loin, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Add pork and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Pour off fat in pot; wipe out pot and let pot cool slightly. Add milk and nutmeg. Return pork to pot.
Bring milk mixture just to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover pot and simmer gently, turning meat every 30 minutes, until meat is tender but not falling apart, about 2 hours. Transfer meat to a cutting board. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Simmer liquid in pot, uncovered, until reduced by two-thirds and small golden-brown curds form throughout sauce, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cut pork into 1/3" slices. Arrange on a serving platter. Spoon sauce over and around pork.

Why this Pork Loin Braised in Milk works for PCOS

Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
