I'm cooking a lovelly Pork stew like dish
Started off with 3 pork stock cubes and half a litre of cider in a big pot and got it bubbling. Then added another half litre of cider and bring to the boil and put a side on a low heat.
Meanwhile, fry some diced fillet pork or belly pork in some butter, fresh ginger, garlic and black peppercorns until golden. Then add 2-3 tablespoons of honey to the frying pan with the pork in and heat for a few mins. Then add 2-3 tablespoons of wholegrain mustard and heat through stirring constantly.
While the pork is cooking slowly, chop your chosen veg up.
I used leak, parsnips, carrot and corqette (sp)
Chuck the veg in the pot with your cider in and also bung in 2 cans of chopped tomatoes and 1 small can of tomato puree. heat up.
Chuck the whole contains of your frying pan (pork, honey, mustard, garlic, ginger, pepper, butter) into your pot and stirr well.
Leave to simmer away for a good 3 hours and done!
Serve with dumplings with chopped apricot and apple in them.
Not bad for my own recipe.
