   Keep the knife closer to the membrane than the meat, and pulling up slightly with the knife, slide the knife along the length of the meat to remove a strip of the membrane.

    Bake until very tender, 30 to 45 minutes.

13. 13

    Remove from the oven and transfer the pork to a large bowl.

14. 14
