How to Make German Pork Skillet

  1. Brown 1 lb of pork shoulder cubes in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add 1 large chopped onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 tbsp of Penzeys bratwurst seasoning (or 1 tsp white pepper and 1 tsp garlic salt), 1 tsp of dried thyme, and 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika.
  4. Return the pork to the skillet. Add 1 cup of chicken broth, 1/2 cup of dry white wine (optional), and 1 tbsp of tomato paste.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, or until the pork is tender.
  6. If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid and simmer for a few more minutes to reduce the liquid.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley (optional). Enjoy!
