Creamy Pork Stew

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pork Recipes. (Creamy Pork Stew). This creamy pork stew is one of my favorite cold weather dishes of all time. You can add squash, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, mushrooms, root vegetables--it's quite versatile. And if pork isn't your thing, this would be lovely with veal, beef, or chicken thighs. Serve on steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.

Directions

Step 1

Season pork chunks generously with salt and pepper. Toss to distribute seasonings evenly.

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil in pot over high heat. Brown pork in batches so meat isn't crowded about 7 minutes total time per batch. Transfer pork to a plate. Cook onions in same pot; cook and stir until they start to turn translucent and edges get brown 3 or 4 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Stir in apple cider and apple cider vinegar.

Step 3

Raise heat to high. Stir in mustard and horseradish. Transfer browned pork pieces back to pot along with accumulated juices. Pour in cream and chicken broth to cover. Add sage thyme rosemary and bay leaf. Season with a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat cover and simmer on low for 30 minutes. Add celery carrots black pepper and cayenne.

Step 4

Simmer uncovered on low until meat is tender about 1 hour. Add green peas. Simmer another 10 minutes. Optional: for a thicker sauce raise heat and simmer until sauce is reduced 5 to 8 minutes.
