How to Make Apple Cider Pork Stew
- Cut 1.5 lbs pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes.
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, brown the pork cubes over medium-high heat. Remove pork and set aside.
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pot. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add 2 medium potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 large apple (peeled, cored, and cubed), and stir to combine.
- Return the browned pork to the pot. Add 2 cups apple cider, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp caraway seeds, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp tapioca.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 2-2.5 hours, or until the pork is very tender. Stir occasionally. Add a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
