About this deal
If you prefer to have some crispy apples also, heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon brown sugar in a skillet and stir to melt. Add 2 sliced apples and fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly caramelised. Serve these with your pork casserole. Servingsuggestions Heat a glug of oil in a large pan. Add the pork in 2-3 batches and brown for 6-8 minutes per batch, transferring with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add the whole shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned, then transfer to a plate.
By the way, I recommend storing the leftovers without the crispy onions on top. Otherwise, they'll get soggy.Even if you’re not an anchovy fan, please have faith, they add a deep, savoury-ness (is that a word?) to the sauce. You can’t taste them in the sauce (I HATE anchovies in their normal state) but it really makes this sauce special. Stir the onions and carrots into the casserole dish with the meat. Remove from the heat and pour into a serving dish. Garnish with a sprig of sage and serve with ale and crusty brown bread. Perfect for the oven or slow cooker, this Pork Casserole recipe is cooked in a delicious Mediterranean style tomato sauce, for a healthy, comfort food dinner. Add the chopped onion to the casserole (there will still be some oil in the pan from the sausages) and continue to cook over a low heat for 5-10 minutes, until the onion is slightly soft. Add the garlic and paprika and cook for another minute.
Add the pork and fry for 5 minutes, stirring often until browned.If your pork chunks are really big, you might want to chop them a little smaller. Step Four Give everything a good stir, pop the lid on and put into the oven for about 2 hours until the meat is meltingly soft. Vegetables– you can use any combination of vegetables you have available. I used 2 carrots and 2 leeks that weighed about 500g when prepared.It's delicious with any comfort food side, like my twice baked mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, old fashioned cornbread, or corn pudding.
