Smothered Vinegar Pork Shoulder with Apples and Kale

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, divided

1 (1 1/2-pound) boneless pork shoulder roast (Boston butt), trimmed

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 1/2 cups sliced onion

1/2 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth

1/4 cup rice vinegar

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

5 cups chopped fresh kale

1 teaspoon canola oil

2 peeled apples, cut into 1/2-inch wedges

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1 teaspoon brown sugar

Directions

1Preheat oven to 325°.

2 Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Sprinkle pork evenly with salt and pepper. Add pork to pan; cook 7 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Remove pork from pan; keep warm.

3 Add remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion to pan; cook 5 minutes or until onion begins to brown, stirring occasionally. Add chicken broth and next 4 ingredients (through garlic) to pan; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Return pork to pan. Cover and bake at 325° for 1 1/2 hours. Add kale to pan; cover and bake at 325° for 30 minutes.

4 Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add canola oil; swirl to coat. Add apples; cook 3 minutes or until starting to soften. Add vinegar and brown sugar; cook 1 minute or until sugar dissolves and liquid almost evaporates. Serve apples with pork and kale mixture.
