Hi, Gigi and Rainer
Your pork stew meat is wonderful. I did some looking for recipes lately and
ended up adapting a recipe I found on the internet. We have tried this
twice now and find it very tasty. I thought you might like to have it in
case somebody else might be looking for a recipe.
Pork Stew Recipe (for Big Bear pork stew meat)
Add some oil for browning stuff, to the bottom of a metal stew pot
Brown the following:
1 large onion, sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 packages Big Bear pork stew meat
Add herbs: a handful each of fresh fennel, oregano, thyme. (Or a couple of
teaspoons each, if you use dried herbs)
Mix everything in the pot and turn up the heat. Add enough apple juice or
cranberry juice (1-2 cups) to safely simmer the mixture in, so it doesn't
get dry and burn. Once it boils, turn it down to a simmer and let it cook
for 45 minutes or until the pork has become somewhat tender. Then add to
it:
1 big squash, seeded and peeled, cut into chunks the same
size as the pork pieces
¾ cup chopped up green or red pepper
1 green apple chopped up
Juice of half a lemon, and
The leftover rind of the half lemon, cut into very small
chunks.
Simmer this for another 45 minutes or so, adding more apple or cranberry
juice if needed. We eat it without more carbohydrates but you could have it
with mashed potatoes or rice. It is very healthy with all the vegetables
and also it's an interesting mixture of sweet and tart.
