Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork loin or shoulder, cubed
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 50 grams Raisins
- 250 milliliters Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Season the cubed pork with salt and pepper and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed pork in batches to avoid overcrowding and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet, and allow it to melt. Add the sliced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the sliced apples and raisins to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples start to soften.
Return the browned pork to the skillet and stir to combine with the onion, apple, and raisin mixture.
Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar. Add the fresh thyme leaves and optional ground cinnamon. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve warm as a main dish with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
