Using pale ale instead of a darker, heavily hopped beer prevents this dish from tasting too bitter because the flavours intensify during the cooking process.

Ingredients

Potato purée

Method

Main

1.Preheat oven to 150C. Heat oil in a large casserole over high heat. Add vegetables and bay leaves and sauté until golden (8-10 minutes). Add spices and sauté until fragrant (1-2 minutes). Add ale, stock and pork shoulder, bring to the boil. Roast, covered with a lid, until pork is tender (3 hours).
2.Meanwhile, for potato purée, place potatoes in a large saucepan of salted water, bring to the boil over high heat. Cook until tender (15-20 minutes), drain and peel, then mash or pass through a potato ricer. Stir through butter and season to taste. Meanwhile, heat milk in a saucepan until just below boiling point, add to potatoes and stir to combine.
3.Slice pork shoulder and serve with roast vegetables and potato purée.
