Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 pound skinless pork fatback (not salted), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 5 flat-leaf parsley sprigs
- 1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
- 5 scallions, 3 halved crosswise and 2 finely chopped
- 2 cups water
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon dry Sherry, divided
- 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 °F with rack in lower third.
- Mince and mash garlic with five-spice powder, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Rub onto pork and fatback in a 5-quart heavy pot. Wrap parsley, bay leaf, and halved scallions in cheesecloth and tie with string. Add to pot with pork, water, and 1/3 cup Sherry and bring to a boil. Cover and braise in oven until meat is very tender, about 3 hours.
- Boil carrot until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in chopped scallion and cook 1 minute. Drain and cool slightly.
- Drain pork mixture in a large sieve set over a bowl, reserving liquid. Finely shred meat and lightly mash fatback with tines, transferring both to a bowl. Skim and reserve fat from liquid. Stir 1/2 cup liquid into meat with vegetables, remaining tablespoon Sherry and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Cool.
- Transfer to terrine, pressing lightly. Top with 1/4 inch of fat. Cool, then chill 8 hours. Serve at room temperature.
