Braised Pork And Apple Stew Recipes

BRAISED PORK AND APPLE STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in 5- to 6-quart pot over medium-high heat. Season the pork with ¼ tsp each salt and pepper, coat with the flour and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the broth to the pot and cook, scraping up any brown bits. Add the apples, potatoes, carrots and thyme and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pot, add the mustard and honey and simmer until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.

PORK AND APPLE STEW

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Toss pork tenderloin with 2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add meat to the pan, and brown, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, and caraway seeds, if using, and cook until onion softens, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Stir in stock, water, mustard, cabbage, potatoes, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Add apples, and continue cooking, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Just before serving, stir in reserved pork cubes, any juices that have accumulated on the plate, and chopped parsley. Simmer stew gently until pork is heated through, about 2 minutes (cooking it longer will make it tough).

PERUVIAN PORK STEW WITH CHILES, LIME AND APPLES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet and brown the pork in it on all sides; you may have to do this in batches for the most efficient browning. Meanwhile, sauté the onions and apples in a pan with the chiles, bay leaves and cloves until the onions are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, Dutch oven or slow cooker. Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles steadily but not vigorously. (If you're using a slow cooker, turn it to high and walk away for 4 or 6 hours.)
• Cook, stirring every 30 minutes or so, until the meat is very tender and just about falling apart, at least an hour. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then lower the heat (this will keep well for at least an hour before serving). Remove the meat, then reduce the broth as necessary; serve over steamed rice, garnished with cilantro.

BRAISED PORK AND VEGETABLE STEW

Steps:

• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add pork; cook and stir until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a dish.
• Add cabbage, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the hot pot; saute for 10 minutes. Add pork back to the pot with chicken stock, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until pork is tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Whisk water and cornstarch in a small bowl; pour into the stew. Cook and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes.
