Creamy Pork and Vegetable Stew
Ingredients
1 lb pork shoulder, cubed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup peas (frozen or fresh)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp curry powder (optional)
1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for thickening)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Sliced apples (optional, for serving)
Directions
Sear pork: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Season pork with salt and pepper, then sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Sauté vegetables: In the same pot, add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Build the stew: Return pork to the pot. Stir in chicken broth, thyme, and curry powder (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes.
Add peas and cream: Stir in peas and heavy cream. In a small bowl, whisk flour with a little water to form a slurry, then stir it into the stew to thicken. Simmer for 10 more minutes.
Season and serve: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh chives and serve with rice and optional sliced apples.
