Ingredients

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion chopped
3 medium carrots sliced
2 lb boneless pork shoulder or collar cut into small cubes
8 oz bacon roughly chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 large garlic cloves minced
1 lb potatoes peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
2 cup beef stock
1 can chopped tomatoes 14.5 oz can
2 tsp italian herbs
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1 handful parsley for garnish

Instructions

Heat two tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Then add chopped onion and sliced carrots. Sauté until soft. Then add minced garlic and stir for one minute or until fragrant.
Add cubed pork meat and chopped bacon. Stir for two minutes to sear the pork. Searing enhances the depth of flavor by creating a nice crust on the meat.
Stir in the remaining ingredients (except the flour and fresh parsley), bring to a boil, and cover with a lid. Then, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 45 minutes. Insert a fork into the meat and potatoes; if they slide in easily, add flour and mix to combine. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes to thicken.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or other seasonings to suit your preferences.
Serve warm and garnish with fresh parsley on top.

Notes

Tips

Choose the right cut of pork: For a flavorful and tender stew, use a boneless pork shoulder or collar cut into small cubes. These cuts are well-suited for slow cooking and will become tender and succulent as they simmer in the stew.
Pork stew pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, which can be used to soak up the delicious sauce. Alternatively, you can serve it over steamed rice for a comforting and satisfying meal.
Store leftovers in the fridge, covered, for up to five days. Or in the freezer for up to three months.

Recipe Notes

Picture this: Juicy pork pieces, lovingly simmered with aromatic spices, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate. Bathed in a luscious broth, the tender meat delivers a burst of comfort and satisfaction with every delightful spoonful. These are just words, and they don't even come close to how good this stew was.
