This is not a recipe per se and the photo is not gorgeous.  In fact it’s probably not even borderline attractive.  But by the time this pork loin came out of the oven, I was so hungry and it was so good … that I didn’t even think of picking up the camera to take a pretty “food porn” photo before I inhaled it!

Start with a 1.5 – 2 lb pork loin.  Take it out of the packaging and pat it dry.  Then brown it in a very hot dutch oven in a little bit of olive or canola oil.  Add some chopped garlic (I added 3 cloves!). Once the pork is nicely browned, pour a can of Guinness (or other dark beer) into the pot, cover it, and place it in the oven at 250 deg.  Cook it for 6 hours.  Don’t open the oven or peek until at least 6 hours are over.

When you take it out of the pot, just touching it with a fork will have it falling apart in shreds.  The first night I served this over rice.  The second night, I put the leftover shredded pork in folded over corn tortillas with some shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and salsa and made pork tacos.

Try it.  I promise you’ll like it!
