Ingredients

2 ½ pounds pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch chunks
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
½ cup apple cider or apple juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
¼ cup chicken broth or more as needed
1 stalk celery, sliced

4 sage leaves
2 sprigs thyme
2 small sprigs fresh rosemary
1 dried bay leaf
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup green peas, fresh or frozen
¼ cup matchstick-cut apple strips
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

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.

Ingredients

PORK STEW
4-5 boneless pork chops cut into medium cubes
1 medium onion diced
3 green onions sliced
7-8 celery stalks chopped
1 1/2 c each- fresh parsley and fresh dill chopped
1/4 c olive oil
1 tsp each- salt & pepper
water
LEMON SAUCE
2 lemons squeezed or 1/3 c bottled lemon juice
2 extra large eggs separated (yolk from egg white)
pinch of salt & pepper

Steps:

1. Cut and cube your pork chops and set aside.
2. Dice your celery and set aside.
3. Chop your onion and set aside.
4. Finally chop up your fresh parsley and dill and set aside.
5. In a sauce pan of choice, turn burner to medium high and add your olive oil. When your oil is heated add your cubed pork and saute a few minutes. Once the meat is just starting to not look pink anymore, add your salt & pepper.
6. Now add your onion, and again saute for another minute or so. Add your celery and saute for 1 more minute.
7. Finally, add your fresh herbs, saute for just about 1 minute.
8. Add enough water to roughly cover the pork (about 4-5 cups). Turn down heat to low, cover and let simmer stirring occassionaly for about 45-60 minutes, or till pork is fork tender.
9. At the last 15 minutes of cooking for the stew, prepare your lemon sauce. Gather your ingredients. Eggs, separated, lemon juice, pinch of salt & pepper.
10. In a medium bowl, place your egg whites and using a whisk, whisk them till light and frothy.Once they are light and frothy, add your freshly squeezed lemon juice, or bottled juice and incorporate. Add your pinch of salt & pepper.
11. The stew should be completely done now. Turn off the heat, and using a ladle, ladle 2-3 ladle fulls of broth ONLY to the beaten frothy eggwhite and lemon mixture. This is tempering the eggwhites so the eggs will not become scrambled when added to the stew. Once you have tempered the eggwhites, add the egg yolks, and beat well.
12. Turn the heat back on the stew, and pour the eggwhite/lemon mixture back into the sauce pan. Let the stew cook for 1 more minute or so, to ensure eggs are cooked thru.
13. Turn off heat, and place in bowls or plates with your comfort side of choice... and our is potatoes!! Enjoy!

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic or free-range pork, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful broth will make all the difference.
Brown the pork before cooking it in the slow cooker. This will help develop its flavor and give the stew a richer color.
Add plenty of vegetables to the stew. They will add flavor, texture, and nutrients.
Use a good quality broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good options.
Season the stew to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices as desired.
Cook the stew on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer you cook it, the more tender the pork will be.
Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. You can also top it with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

This creamy pork stew is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and hearty stew that the whole family will love.
