Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Place the pork shoulder in the center of the pot and arrange 4 or 5 garlic cloves around the sides of the pan.
Step 2
Brown the pork roast on all sides and transfer to a large baking dish; remove garlic cloves from pot with a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl. Repeat the process browning pork spareribs oxtails and lamb shank adding about 4 cloves of cracked garlic with each batch of meat and transferring meats to the baking dish. Transfer each batch of garlic cloves to the bowl when cooked.
Step 3
While the meats are cooking strain the cans of tomatoes and their juice. Use a food mill or press the tomatoes through a colander to remove all of the seeds and extra pulp. Discard seeds and pulp and transfer strained tomatoes to a large bowl; set aside.
Step 4
Cook the sausage in the olive oil in the same pot over medium heat until browned breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks until no longer pink 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to a large bowl and refrigerate while you complete the next steps. When all of the sausage is browned return the reserved garlic cloves to the pot and stir in tomato paste salt black pepper and red pepper flakes.
Step 5
Stir the tomato paste with a wooden spoon scraping up the browned bits of meat in the pot. There will be a buildup of juices in the baking dish where the meats are resting; pour this liquid into the pot. Add the Burgundy wine and cook stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated about 15 minutes.
Step 6
Pour in the strained tomatoes and juice and stir in the basil. Cover the pan and bring the sauce to a boil stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and add the cooked pork shoulder pork ribs oxtails and lamb shank. Reduce the heat to low and simmer stirring occasionally for 4 to 5 hours. (If you're adding braciole see Cook's Note.)
