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.

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)

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: For this stew, a shoulder or butt roast is a good choice. These cuts are well-marbled with fat, which will help to keep the meat moist and tender during the long cooking process.
- Brown the pork before braising: Browning the pork in a hot skillet before adding it to the stew pot will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a good quality beer: The beer you use in the stew will contribute to the flavor of the dish, so choose one that you enjoy drinking. A dark beer, such as a stout or porter, will give the stew a rich, complex flavor.
- Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs add flavor and nutrition to the stew. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and parsnips. Common herbs that pair well with pork include thyme, rosemary, and sage.
- Cook the stew low and slow: The key to a tender, flavorful stew is to cook it low and slow. Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
- Serve with crusty bread or mashed potatoes: A hearty stew is best served with a side of crusty bread or mashed potatoes. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
