For an even richer flavor, use bone-in pork cheeks if available. Serve over creamy mashed potatoes, polenta, or your favorite grain. Garnish with fresh herbs for a touch of elegance. The braised pork cheeks can be made a day ahead. Store them in the braising liquid in the refrigerator, then gently reheat before serving.

Feb 28, 2025I found that my pork cheeks needed a little longer to become truly tender, but it was well worth the wait. The sauce is so flavorful, I could eat it with a spoon!
