Step 2

In a 4-quart Dutch oven, brown roast on all sides in hot oil over medium heat.
Step 3

Remove the roast from the Dutch oven. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir 30 seconds or until fragrant but not brown.
Step 4

Add 2 cups chicken broth, 1 cup milk, and the orange juice to the Dutch oven, scraping any browned bits up from the bottom. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the thyme and cumin. Bring to boiling. Return pork roast to the Dutch oven.
Step 5

Carefully cover the pot tightly with foil and a tightly fitting lid. Roast in a 325° oven for 1 3/4 to 2 1/4-hours or until the pork roast is fork tender, adding chicken broth if needed to keep the roast half-submerged. Transfer roast to a shallow dish; keep warm.
Step 6

Skim fat from cooking juices. Place the Dutch oven onto the stove top. Bring juices to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 15 to 20 minutes or until reduced by nearly half. (Meanwhile, make the Cheesy Grits.)
Step 7

To serve, shred pork into large pieces with two forks. Moisten the pork with some of the pan sauce. Serve pork over Cheesy Grits, garnished with sage leaves; pass the extra sauce.
