Pork And Shellfish Stew Recipes

PORK STEW

Steps:

• Cut pork into 1-inch chunks (or a little larger).
• Heat a large soup pot or dutch oven on the stove over medium-high heat. Melt 1 tablespoon each oil and butter. Add pork, onions and celery and brown for several minutes on all sides; pork does not have to be cooked all the way through.
• Add garlic, dried thyme, rosemary and bay leaves and cook for about a minute, then add broth and tomatoes (with the juice). Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for about an hour or until pork is tender.
• Add potatoes, carrots, and green beans to the stew and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low again and cover. Simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are tender and broth is slightly thickened.
• To thicken the stew: In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water or broth with a fork until smooth. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until thickened. Stir in fresh minced parsley.

CLASSIC HOMESTYLE PORK STEW

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, salt and pepper. Place the pork in the flour mixture and toss until the pork is coated. Shake off the excess.
• In a large Dutch oven over medium high heat, cook the bacon until it's tender crisp. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel lined plate, leaving the drippings.
• Add in the pork and cook in batches until all sides of the cubes are browned. Remove and place on a plate. Add in the onions and saute for 6-7 minutes, or until soft. Add in the garlic and saute another 2 minutes until browned and fragrant.
• Whisk together the broth, Worcestershire, tomato paste, rosemary and thyme. (add red wine now as well if desired).
• Pour a small amount of the stock mixture into the bottom of the Dutch oven and deglaze by scraping the browned bits off of the bottom of the pot. Pour more stock mixture in as needed until the bottom is cleaned and the browned bits have dissolved into the liquid, then add the rest of the broth.
• Add the pork and the bacon back into the pot.
• Add in the vegetables and bay leaves and then stir until combined.
• Bring the mixture to a low boil, cover and reduce the heat.
• Cook for 40-50 minutes, until the pork is fork tender.
• Remove and serve.
