Ingredients

• 500 grams pork shoulder
• 4 stalks celery
• 1 large onion
• 2 medium carrots
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 medium potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 pieces bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the onion, celery, carrots, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot, then sauté the onion, celery, and carrots for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Return the browned pork to the pot along with the diced potatoes, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Cover the pot with a lid and simmer over low heat for 75-90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the stew has thickened.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Discard the bay leaves before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the pork stew hot with crusty bread or rice on the side.
