👨🍳 Instructies

Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
💡 Pro Tips: Low and slow cooking is key for tender pork. - 2
Season the pork cubes generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork cubes in batches until browned on all sides. Remove pork and set aside.

Add the sliced onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly golden.
- 4
Add the minced garlic and thyme, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 5
Pour in the dry cider and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

Return the seared pork to the pot. Add the apple wedges. Ensure the liquid mostly covers the pork and apples. If needed, add a little more broth or water.
💡 Pro Tips: The apples will break down slightly, creating a thicker sauce. - 7
Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the pork is fork-tender.

Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve hot, spooning the sauce and apples over the pork. It pairs well with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
💡 Pro Tips: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Use a dry cider, not a sweet one, to avoid an overly sweet dish.
- ✓If the sauce is too thin at the end, you can remove the pork and apples and reduce the sauce on the stovetop.
- ✓Pork shoulder is ideal for braising as it becomes very tender with slow cooking.
