Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 yellow onion (chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 carrots (sliced into rounds)
• 4 russet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 4 cups green cabbage (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 0.5 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork shoulder cubes with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the pork cubes on all sides, about 5 minutes. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. Remove the pork and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced carrots, cubed potatoes, and cabbage. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Return the browned pork to the pot and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, and paprika. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 60-75 minutes or until the pork is tender and the potatoes are fully cooked. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaves before serving.

Step 8

Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm with crusty bread or rice on the side if desired.
