Note: The apples disintegrate into the stew so don't worry how you cut them.

Provided by Martha

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ pound thick cut bacon, diced
2 cups onion, diced
1 ½ tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
3-4 pound pork butt, cut into two-inch cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups white wine
½ pound carrots
2 Gala apples cored, skins left on and cut up into chunks (or any hard apple but not Granny Smith) *See note
2 cups any jarred apple sauce (sweetened or unsweetened - doesn't matter)
2 14.5-ounce cans chicken stock, divided
3 bay leaves
1 pound new red potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 pound peeled butternut squash, cut into bite-sized pieces

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot, place olive oil and bacon and cook over medium high for 8-10 minutes until the bacon is crispy.
  • Add the onions and lower heat to medium low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add garlic and cook for one minute.
  • With a slotted spoon or spider, remove bacon and onion mixture to a large bowl.
  • Lay pork pieces out and salt and pepper both sides.
  • Heat the pot with the bacon fat to medium high and once hot, sear meat in three or four batches. Do not over crowd pan and sear each side for three to four minutes. Remove to bowl with bacon and onions as you sear each batch. The searing process should take 30-40 minutes total. Don't rush this step; just make sure each piece is nice and golden brown.
  • Once the last batch is done, pour the bowl back in the pot and add the white wine. Stir to get all brown bits from bottom of pot.
  • Add carrots, apples, apple sauce, one can of stock and bay leaves. Bring to boil, lower to a simmer, and place cover partially on. Simmer for two hours, stirring occasionally.
  • After two hours, add second can of stock and the potatoes and bring to a rolling simmer. Cook five minutes then add squash and cook for an additional 15 minutes. (Be careful at this point as the mixture will be thick and if not watched, may stick and burn). The pork is very tender so as you stir, try not to break the meat up too much.
  • Once the potatoes and squash are cooked, serve stew in bowls.

PORK AND BEER STEW (GERMAN)



Pork and Beer Stew (German) image

*Schweinefleisch und Bier-Eintopf* in German, this recipe is from *Modern German Food* by Roz Denny. Roz said "In several parts of Germany, breadcrumbs are used to thicken soups & stews, a brilliant idea that adds a delicious rich & slightly nutty flavour, esp when beer is used instead of stock. This recipe uses shoulder of pork, but works equally well w/beef or veal & is a wonderful warming casserole." *Enjoy* ! (15 min was allowed for ingredient prep)
