👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Preheat oven to 120°C (250°F).
💡 プロのコツ: A lower temperature for a longer cooking time ensures tender meat.
2
In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Brown the pork shoulder cubes in batches until golden brown on all sides. Remove the pork and set aside.
3
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly browned.
4
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5
Return the browned pork to the pot. Sprinkle the dark rye flour over the meat and stir to coat.
💡 プロのコツ: The rye flour will help thicken the stew.
6
Add the carrots, halved prunes, beef broth, water, allspice berries, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir everything to combine.
💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the liquid almost covers the meat and vegetables.
7
Bring the stew to a simmer on the stovetop, then cover the pot tightly with a lid.
8
Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and cook for at least 3 hours, or until the pork is very tender.
💡 プロのコツ: Check occasionally and add more water or broth if the stew appears too dry.
9
Remove the bay leaves before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
💡 プロのコツ: The stew can be made a day in advance; refrigerate and reheat gently.
10
Serve hot, traditionally with creamy mashed potatoes.

💡 プロのコツ

✓Using a mix of pork shoulder and belly can add extra richness.
✓For a deeper flavor, you can brown the meat in two batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
✓If you don't have a Dutch oven, use a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid and cook on the stovetop over low heat, or transfer to a casserole dish for oven cooking.

Add other root vegetables like parsnips or rutabaga along with the carrots.
A splash of dark beer (like Guinness) can be added with the broth for a more complex flavor profile.
