Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes, leftover pork, gravy, and chicken (or vegetable) broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Add the bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Simmer the stew for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Stir in the frozen peas and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the peas are heated through.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the stew into bowls and serve warm with crusty bread or biscuits on the side.
