Nothing is easier—when cooking for company or just another weeknight dinner—than a recipe that essentially makes itself. This savory, comforting pork dish spends three hours on the stove with no intervention from you aside from removing the lid of the Dutch oven. The meat itself becomes fork-tender and shreddy, while the soy-and-orange braising liquid thickens into a glossy sauce. Serve with rice, herbs, and crispy shallots to make it a meal (and opt for store-bought rather than homemade shallots for an even lighter lift).
