Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork shoulder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 medium celery stalks, sliced
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, canned
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork in batches, browning all sides (about 3-4 minutes per batch), and remove it to a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the carrots, celery, and garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and return the browned pork to the mixture. Stir everything together.
Pour in the chicken broth and the canned diced tomatoes with their juices. Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, paprika, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Stir to combine.
Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for about 60-75 minutes or until the pork is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
Taste the stew and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Remove the bay leaves before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve the stew hot with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
