Categories     Pork Recipes

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 ounces center-cut bacon (about 4 slices), coarsely chopped; or 4 ounces regular bacon, trimmed of excess fat
1 pound small shallots (10 to 12), trimmed and peeled
2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 dried bay leaf
12 ounces dry hard cider, preferably Normandy-, Basque-, or other European-style
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 carrots, peeled and cut on the bias into 2-inch-long pieces
3 celery stalks, cut on the bias into 2-inch-long pieces
1/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream, plus more for serving (optional)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, plus more for serving (optional)
Chopped fresh parsley or tarragon leaves, or a combination, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Season pork with salt and pepper. Melt butter in an ovenproof braiser pan, large straight-sided skillet, or wide, shallow pot over medium-high heat. When foam subsides, add pork and cook, turning a few times, until browned all over, 10 to 12 minutes (do not crowd pan; brown in two batches if necessary). Transfer to a plate.
  • Add bacon and shallots to pan; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring a few times, until bacon renders its fat and shallots turn golden brown in places, 6 to 8 minutes. Return pork and any accumulated juices to pan. Sprinkle evenly with flour, stir, and cook 1 minute. Add bay leaf and cider; boil 1 minute. Add broth and return to a boil.
  • Cover and transfer to oven; braise 45 minutes. Stir in carrots and celery, cover, and return to oven until pork is fork-tender and carrots are tender but still holding their shape, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf. Stir in crème fraîche and Dijon. Top with herbs; serve with more crème fraîche and Dijon.

  • For a thicker stew, use less broth or water. For a thinner stew, use more broth or water.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the pork is tender. The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be.
  • If you are using frozen vegetables, be sure to thaw them before adding them to the stew.
  • Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, rice, or bread.
