Pork Apple & Sage Winter Stew

Ingredients

• 350 g Pork shoulder, diced
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 1 medium Apple, peeled and diced
• 1 tbsp Sage leaves, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 500 ml Chicken stock
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp Plain flour(optional)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Prep (15 minutes): Dice the pork, onion, and apple; chop the sage; mince the garlic.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Brown the pork in batches (about 6–8 minutes total), then remove to a plate.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and cook until softened (about 4 minutes). Stir in garlic and sage for 30 seconds.

4. 4

   Sprinkle in flour (if using) and stir for 1 minute. Return pork to the pot, then add stock, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Simmer gently, uncovered, until the pork is tender and the stew thickens (about 45 minutes). Stir occasionally. Add a splash of water or stock if it gets too thick, then serve hot.
