What is Maiale al latte? If you haven’t heard it is a traditional Italian milk-braised pork that’s so comforting and delicious.The pork is incredibly tender and flavorful. Plus it’s easy to make, and with the help of our beloved Instantpot, doesn’t even take that long !
For this dish, I choose full-fat greek yogurt which give some really nice ‘tang’ that I think goes very well with the citrus aroma of lemon peel. However traditionnally, it is made with whole milk (around 500ml for a kg of pork) so feel free to try it out too.
Either way, the depth of flavor this one brings will have you reaching for it again and again, especially in this chilly weather! So I hope you give it a try 🙂
