Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Season with 2 tablespoons salt and pepper, to taste.Slice the pork thinly and arrange on a platter. Spoon the sauce on top, garnish with chopped parsley and serve.© 2014 Television Food Network, G.P.
