Just In Time Pork Stew Recipes

JUST-IN-TIME PORK STEW

Steps:

• In 4-quart Dutch oven, cook broth over high heat, about 30 minutes, until reduced by half (about 4 cups). Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, cut pork into 1-inch pieces. Season well with pepper. In 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Coat pork with 2 tablespoons of the flour; add to skillet, separating so pieces do not touch. Cook 2 minutes (do not move pork pieces until moisture begins to show on tops and pork has browned on one side). Turn pork; brown about 2 minutes longer. Remove pork from skillet to large plate.
• Return skillet to medium-high heat; add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the onions, carrots, turnips and fennel. Cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are lightly browned (watch so vegetables do not burn). Add butter; cook 2 minutes longer.
• Sprinkle remaining tablespoon flour over vegetables in skillet; cook and stir over medium heat 1 minute. Increase heat to high. Stir in wine; heat to boiling. Cook until wine is reduced by half.
• Stir in reduced broth; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 8 minutes. Stir in rosemary; simmer 2 minutes longer. Return pork to skillet. Stir in chard and beans. Cook until thoroughly heated.

CREAMY PORK STEW

Steps:

• Season pork chunks generously with salt and pepper. Toss to distribute seasonings evenly.
• Heat vegetable oil in pot over high heat. Brown pork in batches so meat isn't crowded, about 7 minutes total time per batch. Transfer pork to a plate. Cook onions in same pot; cook and stir until they start to turn translucent and edges get brown, 3 or 4 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Stir in apple cider and apple cider vinegar.
• Raise heat to high. Stir in mustard and horseradish. Transfer browned pork pieces back to pot, along with accumulated juices. Pour in cream and chicken broth to cover. Add sage, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Season with a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat, cover, and simmer on low for 30 minutes. Add celery, carrots, black pepper and cayenne.
• Simmer uncovered on low until meat is tender, about 1 hour. Add green peas. Simmer another 10 minutes. Optional: for a thicker sauce, raise heat and simmer until sauce is reduced, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Garnish individual servings with apple strips and chopped fresh chives.

THE LADY'S PORK STEW

Steps:

• Rub the meat well with the Dale's Seasoning, House Seasoning, Seasoned Salt, and garlic salt-in that order. If time allows, let the roast sit for 1 hour at room temperature. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven. Cook the roast on all sides until browned. Add the 6 cups of water, the onion, and the bay leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the meat from the pot and allow to cool. Cut the pork into chunks. While meat is cooling, taste the stock and add salt and pepper, if necessary. Add the carrots, turnips, and potatoes to the Dutch oven and return to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and cook for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Stir the cornstarch into the 1/3 cup water. Pour this into the pot and stir until the liquid thickens. Return the pork to the pot and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes longer.
