Step 1
Peel and cut the carrots into sugar-cube sized pieces; peel, core, and cut the apples into small chunks, then set aside.
Step 2
Cut the black beech mushrooms into chunks or pull them apart into bite-sized pieces; dice the onions finely.
Step 3
Cut the pork collar into bite-sized chunks.
Step 4
Add a little oil to the pot, sear the pork chunks until browned on both sides and aromatic, then remove and set aside.
Step 5
Using the remaining oil in the pot, add the diced onions and a pinch of salt; stir-fry, then cover to steam until softened.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Pork collar is recommended for its rich marbling, which prevents it from being as greasy as pork belly while remaining tender and succulent during long braising. 🐷
Onions and mushrooms contain a lot of moisture; sautéing them thoroughly until golden brown is the secret to a flavorful base for the stew. 🧅
Tomato paste should be stir-fried separately in the oil to release its deep, savory aroma. 🍅
Apples and the second batch of cranberries are added in the final stage to maintain the crisp-sweet texture of the fruit and the aromatic layers of fresh cranberries. 🍎
