Indulge in the comforting flavors of autumn with this rich and hearty pork stew, lovingly crafted with the finest seasonal ingredients. Pork shoulder, known for its tender and flavorful qualities, takes center stage in this dish, braised to perfection in a delectable blend of spices and herbs.
Accompanying the succulent pork are an array of autumnal vegetables, each contributing their unique flavors and textures to create a symphony of tastes. Sweet potatoes lend a touch of natural sweetness, while carrots and celery add a contrasting crunch. A medley of aromatic mushrooms, such as cremini and shiitake, imparts an earthy depth of flavor, while crisp green beans bring a vibrant freshness to the stew.
The secret to this stew's rich and complex flavor lies in the use of a variety of liquids. Beer, with its hoppy bitterness, deglazes the pan, creating a flavorful base for the stew. Apple cider, with its sweet and tart notes, adds a touch of acidity that brightens the dish. Beef broth provides a rich and savory foundation, while a splash of Worcestershire sauce adds a hint of umami.
Garnished with fresh parsley and served alongside crusty bread or mashed potatoes, this autumn pork stew is a culinary masterpiece that will warm your soul and tantalize your taste buds. It's a perfect dish for a cozy fall evening, enjoyed with loved ones around the table.

PORK AND BEER STEW (GERMAN)
*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)

Steps:
- Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a flameproof and ovenproof dish. Add the onions, celery, bay and thyme, and fry for about 8 mins until softened. Add the pork and cook for a few mins until it changes colour, but it doesn't need to brown as you don't want to overcook it.
- Stir in the mustard powder, garlic, flour and vinegar, then pour in the bouillon, stirring to prevent any lumps forming.
- Add the apple, leeks and carrots, bring the liquid to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pan and simmer for 1 hr, stirring occasionally, until the pork and vegetables are tender.
- When the stew is nearly cooked, heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. To make the dumplings, tip the flour, baking powder, mustard powder, parsley and thyme into a bowl and stir to combine. Put the yogurt in a jug, make up to 100ml with water, then stir in the oil. Lightly stir the liquid into the flour to make a soft, slightly sticky dough. Divide the dough equally into eight and shape into balls. Drop them on top of the stew, drizzling each one with the remaining oil. Bake for 20 mins until the dumplings are golden. Scatter with the extra thyme, if you like, before serving.

CHEF JOHN'S IRISH PORK STEW
I'm sure you've heard by now that corned beef and cabbage is not authentic St. Patrick's Day food. I decided to do a little mash-up and this Irish pork stew with baby cabbage was the result. By the way, baby cabbage can be a little hard to find, but you can use Brussels sprouts, and no one will know the difference, mostly because there isn't one.
