One of the delights of pork stew is that with very little effort, you can create a cozy and flavorful meal. We rely on a slow cooker\u2014which curates a low and steady temperature environment\u2014to help transform the meat into tender bites. We toss prunes into the base to infuse sweetness. The other ingredients help add rich notes to the sauce, which shines poured over creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy white rice. Bookmark this recipe for the next time you plan to feed a crowd or need a simple meal prep idea for the week.<\/span><\/p>\n Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper, then transfer it to a 4-quart slow cooker.\u00a0Next, add the carrots, celery and onion to the slow cooker. <\/span><\/p>\n While that\u2019s cooking, whisk together the beef broth and tomato paste in a small bowl, then add the mixture to the slow cooker with the meat and vegetables. Finally, add the prunes, garlic, bay leaves, rosemary, thyme and olives (if you’re using them).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/span><\/i> Tie the herbs into a bundle before adding them to the slow cooker to make removing them from the stew easier.<\/span><\/p>\n Reduce the slow cooker heat to low, then cover and cook the stew until the meat and vegetables are tender, five to six hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Remove and discard the bay leaves, rosemary and thyme. Before serving, sprinkle the stew with fresh parsley.<\/span><\/p>\n Allow your pork to come to room temperature, then divide it into smaller servings. Next, store these leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for three to four days.<\/span><\/p>\n If you want to make this pork stew before a gathering or in preparation for the week, follow the recipe, then you can let it cool and store it in your fridge for three to four days. When you’re ready to serve it, heat it in a slow cooker, microwave or on the stovetop until thoroughly warmed.<\/span><\/p>\n This pork stew can be frozen for two to three months. To make the reheating process easy, freeze the stew in large silicone ice trays or freezer bags so you can easily access it, then heat it in a saucepan when it\u2019s time to eat.<\/span><\/p>\n Pork stew can last in the refrigerator for three to four days in an airtight container. It can also last two to three months in the freezer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While we recommend stewing in pork tenderloin, you can also opt for shoulder or sirloin. Or you can try a different type of meat in this dish, like lamb shank or bone-in beef short rib.<\/span><\/p>\n You can take an extra step to guarantee that the pork in this dish melts in your mouth. To do so, before you cook the pork, tenderize it by lightly pounding it with a mallet evenly across the surface, being careful not to overwork the meat. You can also try marinating the pork in acidic ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar before cooking, which helps break down tough proteins. (Psst:<\/em> If you\u2019re a newbie at cooking with tough cuts, check out this guide for <\/span>tenderizing meats<\/span><\/a>.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You\u2019ll swoon over how delicious this pork stew smells as it simmers in your home. But before you get to eating it, you should consider what to serve alongside this hearty dish. We suggest plating it with a bed of creamy <\/span>mashed potatoes<\/span><\/a>, fluffy white rice or moist <\/span>honey cornbread<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Try this comforting stew that’s easy to put together, but it tastes like you’ve been working hard in the kitchen all day.
