    Finish & serve

    • Carefully remove Chef’s Pan and check pork. Meat should easily pull apart when pierced with a fork. If it is not yet tender, bake at 300°F for 30 minutes more.
    • Place pork on cutting board and cut as desired, or use fork or hands to pull meat apart. Transfer to large bowl.
    • If desired, use large spoon to skim fat off sauce.
    • Remove bay leaves and orange zest and carefully transfer sauce and vegetables to blender. Blend on high speed until smooth. Pour half of sauce over pork and toss to coat.
