👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Pat the pork dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, ovenproof Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Brown the pork in batches until browned on all sides. Remove pork to a plate.
- 3
Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of fat from the pot. Add the chopped onion and cook over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes until fragrant.
- 5
Add the carrots and browned pork back to the pot. Stir to combine. Remove the pot from the heat. Sprinkle the smoked paprika and flour over the meat and vegetables, tossing to coat.
- 6
Place the pot in the preheated oven, uncovered, and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven, stir, and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes.
- 7
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Add 5 cups of water, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke (if using) to the pot. Stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a boil on the stovetop.
- 8
Stir in the dried apricots. Cover the pot and return to the oven. Bake for 1.5 hours.
- 9
Remove the pot from the oven and stir in the prunes. Cover and bake for another 1 hour, or until the pork is very tender.

Remove from oven, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
