Pork Stew with Creamy Lemon Dill Sauce image

This recipe was given to me by my ex mother in law. This recipe is from the Greek region of Sparta. The first time I tried it, I fell in love with it. The creaminess of the sauce coupled with just the right tartness of the lemon and then the fresh herbs... It's an "explosion of flavors" in your mouth!! This dish spells, home,...

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!

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thin and watery, and the pork was tough and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This stew was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs, and it was much better. The pork was tender and the sauce was creamy, but it needed a little more flavor.

Easy to make and very tasty. I used chicken instead of pork and it was still delicious. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the dill added a nice touch. Served it over rice and it was a perfect meal.

This dish was a disappointment. The sauce was too thin and lacked flavor, and the pork was tough and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I just need to try a different recipe.

Just made this stew and it turned out amazing! The sauce was so creamy and flavorful, and the pork was fall-apart tender. I added some extra vegetables to the stew, like carrots and celery, and it was even better. Will definitely be making this again
