It happened by chance one Sunday, I wanted to make Pork Stew with apples but realized at the last minutes that I did not have any apples!

But, I had a pineapple I had intended to use to make an upside-down cake for dessert.

So I decided to sacrifice the dessert for the pork. Besides,

I always keep some chocolate in my pantry, just in case...

The result was fantastic!

I usually stuff the pork loin with lemon zest, garlic and rosemary.

They infuse a nice flavours in the pork stew while it is cooking.

I make a hole lengthwise in the middle, and insert the flavours on each side.

As a matter of interest, I always cut my meat over a dedicated fish board as it is more hygienic.

As I did with the pork tenderloin, I season the pork and sear it before putting it in the oven.

Pork Stew add vegetables

I add 1 onion, some carrots and fruit - typically apples or pineapple.

You can also use prune, pear, apricot, peach...whatever you fancy.

I Stir and cook it for a few minutes to combine the flavours, and add 1 cube of chicken stock.

Sometime I even add chestnuts.

I cover the casserole dish and place the pork in a hot oven at 202C to cook for 1:30 hrs.

Midway through the cooking process I turn it, and sometimes add a little broccoli.

Pork Stew wait few minutes

 

Once ready I wait 10 minutes before cutting the pork into slices.

I put the slices back into the pan with the vegetables, adding 1 cup of cognac - allowing it to evaporate.

The fruit, vegetables and cognac form a creamy sweet sauce which moistens and brings contrast to the pork meat.

...and your pork stew with whatever its is ready to serve!
