Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork cubes and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Stir in the sliced carrots and chopped celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
-
Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and incorporate any browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
-
Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir everything together to combine.
-
Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 2-2.5 hours, or until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded together.
-
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
-
To serve, ladle the French Pork Stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
