Time 1h45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 lbs boned pork shoulder, trimmed of fat and cut into 2-inch cubes
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
4 ounces pork rinds (substitute 2 slices bacon if necessary)
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 cups hard alcoholic cider
3 cups tart apples, peeled, cored and cut into eighths
3 cups small turnips, peeled and cut into eighths
4 garlic cloves, chopped coarsely

Steps:

  • Place meat in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with salt, freshly ground pepper and rosemary.
  • Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  • Roll up the pork rind or fold bacon in half, tie with kitchen string and cover with cold water in a large pan.
  • Bring to a light boil and boil for 5 minutes.
  • Drain and cool under cold running water. Set aside.
  • Pat meat dry with paper towels.
  • On a plate, season flour with large pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 325F, if using Dutch oven.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Dip a few pieces of pork at a time in the flour, place in the skillet and brown evenly.
  • As each batch is done, transfer meat to a 5-1/2-quart Dutch oven or a slow cooker.
  • Pour cider into the skillet.
  • Over high heat, scrape the bottom of the pan for 1 minute or so to incorporate all the residue. (If oil and flour are burned, skip this step and pour cider directly into Dutch oven or slow cooker.
  • Strain the cider over the meat.
  • Add apples, turnips and garlic to the pork, and bury pork rind or bacon in the meat.
  • Season with salt and pepper and cover.
  • Be sure to check on the pork and add 1/4 cup water at a time, if necessary, to prevent the meat or vegetables from burning.
  • Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 1-1/2 hours, or in the slow cooker for about 6 hours, stirring meat, turnips and apples once or twice if possible to ensure even cooking.
  • Discard the pork rind or bacon, put the stew with the apples and turnips in a heated serving bowl, and skim off the fat.
  • Mash some of the apples and turnips into the juices, pour over meat.

PERUVIAN PORK STEW WITH CHILES, LIME AND APPLES



Peruvian Pork Stew With Chiles, Lime and Apples image

Spicy and sweet, this Peruvian stew is rich with apples and onions and scented with chiles, lime and cloves. It's not at all difficult to make, and it takes less time than you would think, about two hours from start to finish. As you brown the pork on all sides in a pot, sauté the onions and apples with the chiles, bay leaves and cloves in another. Combine everything and braise until the pork is very tender and falling apart. If you'd like to make it in a slow cooker, put everything into the crock after browning and sautéing and turn the cooker on high. It will be ready in four to six hours.

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield at least 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 to 4 pounds trimmed boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 large white onions, chopped
4 large apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
3 snipped and seeded ancho or other mild dried chiles
3 bay leaves
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
4 cups chicken stock
Steamed rice for serving
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet and brown the pork in it on all sides; you may have to do this in batches for the most efficient browning. Meanwhile, sauté the onions and apples in a pan with the chiles, bay leaves and cloves until the onions are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, Dutch oven or slow cooker. Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles steadily but not vigorously. (If you're using a slow cooker, turn it to high and walk away for 4 or 6 hours.)
  • Cook, stirring every 30 minutes or so, until the meat is very tender and just about falling apart, at least an hour. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then lower the heat (this will keep well for at least an hour before serving). Remove the meat, then reduce the broth as necessary; serve over steamed rice, garnished with cilantro.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
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 red potatoes
2 tart green apples such as Granny Smith, unpeeled, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Toss pork tenderloin with 2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add meat to the pan, and brown, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, and caraway seeds, if using, and cook until onion softens, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon flour. 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.

NORMANDY PORK WITH APPLES & CIDER



Normandy pork with apples & cider image

True comfort food for chilly winter evenings, this slow-cooker recipe combines meltingly tender pork, smoked bacon and cider

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 8h50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tbsp rapeseed oil or olive oil
600g pork shoulder or pork cheeks, fat and sinew trimmed, cut into chunky pieces
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, cut into chunky pieces
2 celery sticks, cut into chunky pieces
200g pack smoked bacon lardons
250ml dry cider (or use 100ml apple juice mixed with 3 tbsp cider vinegar and 100ml water)
2 eating apples (we used Braeburn), cored and cut into chunky pieces
1 chicken stock cube
1 bay leaf
3-4 thyme sprigs, plus extra to serve (optional)
140g crème fraîche
1-2 tbsp Dijon mustard, plus extra to serve (optional)
1-2 tsp cornflour, optional
mashed potato and greens, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat half the oil in a large pan and brown the meat in batches. Don't overcrowd the pan, and only turn the meat when it has a deep brown crust on the underside, as this will add lots of flavour to the stew. When one batch is cooked, tip it into the slow cooker and continue with the next batch, adding more oil as you need it.
  • When all the meat has been transferred to the slow cooker, add the onion, carrots and celery to the pan and cook for 5-10 mins to just soften, scraping any meaty bits up from the bottom of the pan. Tip the veg into the slow cooker. Add the lardons to the pan and fry until crispy. Pour in the cider, bubble for 1 min, again scraping the bottom of the pan, then tip the cider and lardons into the slow cooker too. Add the apples, stock cube and herbs to the slow cooker, pour in 400ml water, season well and turn the heat to Low. Cover with the lid and cook for 6-8 hrs until the meat is very tender. (If you don't have a slow cooker, tip all the ingredients back into the pan, cover with a lid and cook for 3 hrs over a low heat, stirring every now and then to prevent it from catching on the bottom. You may have to add a splash of water during cooking if the sauce looks dry.)
  • Turn your slow cooker up to High. Add the crème fraîche and mustard to the stew and check the seasoning. If the sauce is thin, you can thicken it with the cornflour - ladle 2 spoonfuls of the sauce into a pan and bring to a simmer, mix the cornflour with 1-2 tsp cold water to make a paste, then stir it into the sauce. Once thickened, return the sauce to the slow cooker and cook for 10 mins more on High, stirring occasionally (or for 5 mins on the hob). Serve with mashed potato, greens and extra mustard and thyme, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to ensure the stew has enough space to simmer and thicken.
  • Sear the pork cubes in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even browning.
  • Add the vegetables to the pot in order of their cooking time, starting with the turnips and ending with the apples.
  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor profile. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good options.
  • Season the stew to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme or rosemary.
  • Let the stew simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the pork is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  • Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
