About Dijon braised pork shoulder

Dijon Braised Pork Shoulder is a rich, tender dish rooted in French cuisine, showcasing slow-cooked pork infused with the bold, tangy flavors of Dijon mustard. Typically prepared with a mix of aromatics like garlic, onions, and fresh herbs, it's braised in a savory liquid, often consisting of broth, wine, or a combination of both, to create a deeply flavorful and moist dish. While the pork shoulder is a fattier cut of meat, it provides a hearty dose of protein and essential B vitamins. The addition of mustard and herbs delivers antioxidants and flavor without excessive calories. However, the dish can be high in saturated fat and sodium depending on preparation methods. To make it healthier, remove visible fat before cooking and opt for low-sodium broth. Pairing it with steamed vegetables or a side of whole grains can balance its richness while enhancing its nutritional profile.
