2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
1 onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds, (optional)
2 cups chicken stock, or reduced-sodium canned broth
2 cups water

1/2 pound green cabbage, shredded (about 2 cups)
1/2 pound red potatoes
2 tart green apples such as Granny Smith, unpeeled, cut into 3/4-inch chunks

Stir in stock, water, mustard, cabbage, potatoes, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Add apples, and continue cooking, covered, for 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Pork: Select a cut of pork that is suitable for stewing, such as pork shoulder, pork butt, or pork loin. These cuts have a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which will break down during cooking and create a tender and flavorful stew.
  • Brown the Pork: Before stewing the pork, brown it in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. This will help to develop flavor and create a nice caramelized crust.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: In addition to apples, add other vegetables to the stew, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, or parsnips. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Choose the Right Apples: Select apples that are firm and tart, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn apples. These apples will hold their shape during cooking and add a nice tartness to the stew.
  • Add Spices and Herbs: Season the stew with a variety of spices and herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, sage, paprika, or cumin. This will add depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Cook the Stew Low and Slow: Stew the pork and vegetables on low heat for at least 1 hour, or until the pork is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Pork and apple stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
