Pork Stew with Vegetables

Hello my dear foodies!

Are you looking for a good idea for your Sunday lunch? You want something tasty, perfect for grey winter days and something that won’t keep you for hours in the kitchen? Stoooop right there!! You just found what you’re looking for: the pork stew with vegetables! Tadaaa!!! 🙂

Cherry on the cake, or shall I say rosemary on the meat (my humour is irresistible today!!), this pork stew with vegetables is rather light. Taste, pleasure at the table combined with diet?? Want!!!

The key point in this recipe is to cook slowly and gently the meat and veggies. You will smell the tastes in your kitchen, the vegetables will remain firm, the meat will be smooth….

Now, shall I say more to convince you?

Oh, I was about to forget… It’s a cheap full meal!! If you are a 5 person family, take a 1 kg piece of meat (8 or 9 euros per kilo), a few vegetables (5 or 6 euros), a chicken stock cube from Maggi and that’s it! You’ll have a full meal, balanced, generous (I counted 200 g of meat per person!!) for less than 3 euros per person!

Isn’t it a dream come true?

Last comment by the way…

Your pork stew will have the perfect taste and texture if you cook it with the right casserole: with a thick ceramic bottom for an homogeneous heat. I use the cocottes from Staub which are amazing and quite lovely too!! You will have them on your table keeping your dish warm and giving a good look at your table!

Now, the recipe, Chef!
