Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place oil over medium-high heat in a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven or stovetop casserole. Add pork and sear on all sides until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Remove meat.

  2. Step 2

    Add garlic and onions; sauté over medium-low heat until soft. Add bay leaves; deglaze pan with vinegar. Add port and stock. Season meat with salt and pepper; return to pot.

  3. Step 3

    Place over very low heat and cook, basting occasionally, 40 to 45 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer reads 140 degrees. Add a little more stock if liquid cooks down too fast. Remove meat to a platter to rest 15 to 20 minutes; temperature will rise to 150 to 155 degrees.

  4. Step 4

    Reheat sauce and add olives and parsley. Adjust seasoning as needed.

  5. Step 5

    Slice meat and cut ribs apart. Arrange all on a platter, spoon sauce over and serve.
