Pork And Apple Hot Pot Recipes

CREAMY PORK AND APPLE CASSEROLE WITH CIDER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170c/325f.
• Add the 2 tbsp of oil to a large casserole pan and heat over a medium-high heat.
• Add the chunks of pork and sprinkle over the 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper. Brown the pork on both sides - this should take about 5-6 minutes altogether.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add in the diced onion and 12 button mushrooms that have been sliced in half. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens.
• Add in the 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for a further minute.
• Sprinkle over the 2 tbsps of flour and stir it all in to coat the meat, onion and mushrooms.
• Pour in the 240ml (1 cup) of cider and the 420ml (1 3/4 cups) of chicken stock. Add in the 1/2 tsp of dried sage.
• Turn up the heat and bring to the boil, scraping up any bits that might have stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• Place a lid on the dish and place in the oven for 90 minutes. Check a couple of times towards the end of cooking and add a splash of water or stock if it's starting to look a little dry.
• Remove the casserole from the oven and add in the sliced apples and the 80ml (1/3 cup) of cream.
• Stir together, place the lid back on the dish and place back in the oven for 25 minutes - until the apples are tender.
• Remove from the oven and serve. I like to top mine with a few fresh sage leaves and some very thinly sliced apple for a bit of crunch. I love to serve this dish with mashed potatoes, cabbage and roasted radishes.

PORK AND APPLE HOT POT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil and add onions. Saute until soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add bacon to pan and saute until fat is rendered and bacon begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon, leaving behind as much fat as possible. Add bacon to onions and set aside.
• In a freezer bag, mix together flour and apple pie spice. Add 3 chops, seal and shake until chops are coated. Shake off excess flour and place chops on a plate. Flour remaining 3 chops and add to plate; reserve spiced flour. Return skillet to medium heat. Add chops 3 at a time, searing on both sides then transferring to a plate; reserve oily skillet.
• Peel, core and cut the apples in two. Slice each half into thin wedges. In an ovenproof pot (preferably glazed ceramic) 8 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep, layer ingredients compactly as follows: a layer of onions and bacon, 3 chops, a layer of apple slices, some more onions and bacon, the final 3 chops, a layer of apple slices, remaining onions and bacon, and a final layer of apples.
• Add spiced flour to oily skillet. If pan is dry, add a small amount of oil. Place pan over medium-low heat and whisk flour into oil to make a smooth paste. Slowly add apple cider, whisking until smooth. Bring mixture to a boil, then pour into pot, letting it filter slowly to bottom.
• Cover pot with a lid or waxed paper and foil. Place on a baking sheet. Bake until chops are tender and apples are very soft, about 3 hours. Serve hot.

PORK CHOPS AND APPLES

Steps:

• Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour and cumin and shake off excess.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute pork chops until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add apples; cook and stir just until tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add broth, vinegar, honey, ketchup, and shallot to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
• Return pork and apples to the skillet, cover, and cook until pork is only slightly pink in the center, about 10 minutes more.

SLOW-COOKED PORK, CIDER & SAGE HOTPOT

Steps:

• Heat half of the oil in a deep ovenproof frying pan, or flameproof casserole dish, and fry the pork pieces over a medium high heat in batches until seared all over, then transfer to a plate. Add another 1 tbsp oil to the pan, if you need to, while you're cooking the batches. Once all the pork is seared, transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add another 1 tbsp oil to the pan with a little butter and fry half the leeks with a pinch of salt for 10 mins until tender. Add the garlic, fry for a minute, then stir in the flour.
• Pour in the cider, a little at a time, stirring to pick up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan and to combine everything. Add the stock, bay leaves and seared pork, then simmer, half-covered with a lid for 1-1½ hrs until the meat is just tender (it will later cook to the point of falling apart in the oven). Can be prepared a day ahead.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Simmer uncovered for a few minutes to reduce the sauce, if you need to - it shouldn't be too liquid or the potatoes will sink into the sauce. Stir in the parsley, chopped sage, remaining leeks, and the cream, then season well.
• Peel both types of potatoes and cut into slices 2mm thick, by hand or using a mandoline. Alternate layers of potato and sweet potato in circles over the pie, or randomly, if you prefer. Dot the cubed butter over the top and bake for 1-1½ hrs until the potato is tender. Nestle in the whole sage leaves, brushed in a little oil, for the last 10 mins. Leave to rest for 10 mins before serving.

LAZY PORK HOT POT

Steps:

• Combine broth, sherry, soy, garlic, ginger, and mushroom stems in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat to low and simmer until broth is infused with flavors, about 30 minutes.
• Strain broth, return to pot over high heat, add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, add pork and mushrooms and cook until pork is just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Garnish with green onions and sesame oil, if using, and serve.

STICKY PORK & PINEAPPLE HOTPOT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, flameproof casserole dish. Season the pork, and brown it in 2 or 3 batches until golden, about 5 mins per batch. Set aside in a bowl. Stir the onions into the remaining fat, cover and soften for 5 mins - they will take on the browned colour of the meat. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3.
• Add the garlic, coriander stalks, chillies and anise to the dish, sizzle for 1 min, stirring often, then mix in the sugar and tomato purée. When these have melted and it looks a bit like barbecue sauce, return the pork and its resting juices to the dish, along with the fish sauce and stock. Tuck in the pineapple chunks here and there.
• Once simmering, cover the hotpot, leaving a small gap for steam to escape, and transfer to the oven for 2 hrs. With 30 mins to go, skim some of the fat from the top (this tends to seal the liquid in, making it more difficult for the sauce to reduce), then return to the oven. The pork will be meltingly soft when ready. If the sauce is thin, lift the pork into a warmed serving dish, put the casserole dish on the hob and simmer until the sauce has slightly thickened. Leave to cool for 5 mins, taste for seasoning, pour over the pork and sprinkle over the coriander leaves.

• Rinse and thoroughly dry roast. Any moisture will prohibit a nice crust from forming. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Cut into large chunks that are no larger than about 4 inches wide.
• Heat pressure cooker to browning (saute mode) setting. Heat oil and once hot, add pork roast chunks. You may need to brown them in batches to avoid over crowding. Brown for 5 minutes on both sides. If browning in batches, set the seared pieces aside on a plate and once done browning all the meat, transfer them back to the Instant Pot along with any juices that have accumulated on the plate.
• Add onion, apples, broth, juice, rosemary, sage, and bay leave. Close lid and set to high pressure. Cook at high pressure for 60 minutes. Allow to naturally release pressure once done cooking.
• Once you can remove the lid, carefully remove roast, set on plate, and loosely tent with aluminum foil.
• Strain out all the solids from the liquid by pressing through a fine mesh sieve. Discard solids and reserve the liquid for the gravy.
• Using your the Instant Pot on the saute setting, heat butter and flour in the empty hot pot and allow to cook until golden brown while stirring constantly, about 3-5 minutes. Whisk in the hot liquid to form the gravy and stir well until thoroughly mixed and thickened.
• To serve, shred the pork roast away from the bone and remove any remaining fat. Smother it with the apple gravy.
