Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Apple and Pork Stew.
Step 1
To start your delicious stew, grab a Dutch oven and warm up some vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
While that’s heating, take a medium bowl and coat your cubed pork with flour, making sure to shake off any excess.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the pork to the pot.
Step 4
Cook it, stirring occasionally, until it’s beautifully browned on all sides.
Step 5
When it’s ready, remove the pork and set it aside on a plate, letting it rest for a moment.
Step 6
Now, let’s lower the heat to medium-low and melt some butter in the same pot, soaking up all those wonderful flavors left behind.
Step 7
Toss in the diced onion, minced garlic, and shallot, and sprinkle in some thyme, rosemary, basil, salt, and pepper.
Step 8
Stir everything together and let it cook for about five minutes, or until the onion becomes tender and translucent, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 9
Next, add the cubed new potatoes to the mix and let them cook for another five minutes, just enough time for them to soften a bit.
Step 10
Now it’s time to pour in a splash of dry red wine and some beef broth, creating a rich base for your stew.
Step 11
Return the browned pork to the pot, along with the diced Granny Smith apple for a touch of sweetness.
Step 12
Give everything a good stir to combine all those wonderful ingredients.
Step 13
Cover the pot and let your stew simmer gently for about 45 minutes.
Step 14
This is the perfect time to relax and let the flavors meld together, creating a comforting dish that’s sure to warm your heart.
Step 15
When the potatoes and apple are tender, it’s time to serve your hearty stew warm, inviting family and friends to gather around the table and enjoy.
