Preparing your pork.
Cut your pork into several large pieces removing all bones and trim off all excess fat. Place pork pieces into a bowl and sprinkle with pork rub.
Pre-heat your conventional oven to 325 degrees.
Place a Dutch Oven on the stove. Place olive oil in dutch oven with red pepper flakes and heat to medium high.
Place pork pieces into oven and brown on all sides until a golden crust forms on each piece.
Remove the pork from the dutch oven and set aside in a separate plate.
Note: It is better to brown a few pieces at a time for even cooking to create your flavors.
Crowding the pan will cause the pork to steam and not form the yummy flavors you want to achieve
Place into the dutch oven - Onions, Carrots and Celery. Cook the veggies for 6 to 7 minutes on a medium low heat until they become soft and tender. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 3 minutes. Add flour, mix into veggies and cook for 2 minutes. Add the red wine and cook for 3 minutes till it thickens and wine becomes concentrated.
Place the browned pork back into the dutch oven. Add the beef stock, bay leaf and parsley. Mix all together.
Braising your pork.
Place lid on top of dutch oven and place the dutch oven into your pre-heated conventional oven.
Cook for 3 hours allowing the pork to become fork tender.
