This meltingly tender pork shoulder ragout has a savory broth that’s full of fennel.

White wine gives the stew a bright edge of acidity.

Cover and refrigerate fennel fronds.

Sprinkle pork with 3/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add about half the pork and cook until brown, 4 to 5 minutes.

Transfer to the slow cooker.

Repeat with the remaining oil and pork.

Add wine to the pan and scrape up any browned bits; remove from the heat.

Sprinkle garlic, rosemary, oregano and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper over the pork.

Top with the drained tomatoes and pour in the wine from the skillet.

Cover and cook for 5 hours on High or 7 to 8 hours on Low.

Stir the stew well to combine; serve garnished with the reserved fronds.
