How to use this list
Begin by checking your kitchen for pork shoulder, onions, and eggs. Shop for fresh red and green bell peppers, cremini mushrooms, Roma tomatoes, and garlic cloves. Gather dry white wine, chicken broth, sunflower oil, sweet paprika, summer savory, and fresh parsley. Prep all vegetables and cut pork into bite-sized pieces. Sauté the pork and vegetables, add liquids and seasonings, then bake everything together. Crack eggs on top before finishing in the oven.
What to skip
Don’t substitute pork shoulder with leaner cuts; the dish needs the fat for flavor and texture. Avoid using button mushrooms instead of cremini if you want authentic flavor. Don’t skip summer savory—it’s traditional and adds depth. Resist the urge to add extra wine or broth, as too much liquid will make the casserole soupy instead of saucy. Skip any extra salt until after tasting, since broth and pork can add plenty.
