Provencal Pork Stew With Fennel And Olives Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown pork in oil; drain. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker., Stir in the tomatoes, broth, vegetable blend, wine, marmalade, garlic, oregano, fennel seed, pepper and, if desired, pepper flakes. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours, until meat is tender., Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into stew. Cover and cook on high about 30 minutes, until thickened. Serve with fettuccine if desired.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat. Add fennel and onion and saute for 8 minutes until tender. Add the garlic and saute 2 minutes more.
• Spoon the fennel mixture into a bowl and put aside for now.
• Place the flour in a shallow powl. Dredge the pork in flour, shaking off excess.
• Heat remaining oil in the dutch oven over medium high heat. Add half of the pork and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 6 minutes browning on all sides. Repeat with the remaining pork.
• Add wine to the pan, scraping up the browned bits. Stir in fennel mixture, broth, herbes and tomatoes and bring to a boil.
• Cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 45 minutes. Stir in remaining salt and pepper and the olives. Simmer 10 minutes more.
• Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Rub pork all over with salt. Coarsely grind seeds and peppercorns in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle; rub all over pork. Bring pork to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Rub pork with oil to coat generously. Roast until sizzling, about 20 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 375 degrees. Baste pork, and roast until center reaches 145 degrees, about 30 minutes more. Let pork rest 15 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, toss fennel and chiles with just enough oil to coat; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; roast until tender and lightly browned on bottom, 25 to 30 minutes. Add olives, and roast until hot, about 5 minutes. Toss together; serve with pork.

Steps:

• Season the pork all over with the salt and pepper. In a large bowl, combine the pork, garlic, rosemary, sage and red-pepper flakes.
• In a small dry skillet, toast the coriander seeds until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and coarsely crush (or do this on a cutting board with the side of a heavy knife). Add crushed seeds to the pork and toss well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Set the pressure cooker to the sauté function on medium. Add 1 tablespoon oil and let it get hot for a few seconds, then add enough pork chunks to fit comfortably in one layer with a little space around each piece. Let brown for 2 to 3 minutes per side, then transfer the cubes to a plate. Add a little more oil if the pot looks dry and continue browning the rest of the pork.
• Add the wine to the pot and let simmer, scraping the browned bits from the bottom, until it reduces by half, about 2 minutes. Using kitchen shears or your hands, break the tomatoes into pieces and add them, along with their liquid, to the pot. Return pork to the pot, stir in carrots and 1/2 cup water.
• Seal the pot and cook on high pressure for 45 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer pork to a serving platter. Use a fat separator to separate the fat from the juices, or just spoon the fat off the top. (There may be a lot of fat.) If the sauce seems thin, use the sauté function to simmer it until it thickens. Stir in olives, then taste the sauce and add more salt, if you like.
• Spoon the sauce over the pork, then top with chopped parsley or basil and serve.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of the sundried tomato oil in a large, flameproof casserole dish. Toss the pork in the flour, tap off any excess, then brown it in 2 batches, transferring to a large bowl once golden and crusted. Use a splash more oil for the second batch if needed.
• Tip 1 tbsp oil, shallots, onion, bay leaves and thyme into the pan and fry for 5 mins until golden here and there. Stir in the garlic and sundried tomatoes, cook for 1 min more, then tip onto the pork.
• Splash the wine and orange juice into the dish, add the orange zest and boil hard for 5 mins. Add the meat and onions back in.
• When ready to cook, heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Stir the stock, canned tomatoes, potatoes and olives into the casserole, then bring to a simmer. Prod the potatoes as far under the surface of the liquid as you can. Cover, leaving a slight gap to one side, then cook in the oven for 2½ hrs, or until the meat is tender enough to cut with a spoon. Spoon away any excess fat and let the stew rest for a few mins before ladling into shallow bowls.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper. Add pork to pot and cook until brown, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer pork to plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to pot. Add onions and sauté until very tender, about 12 minutes. Add garlic and cook 3 minutes. Return pork to pot. Add tomatoes with their juices, low-salt chicken broth, white wine, thyme and oregano. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until pork is almost tender, about 1 hour. Add olives and continue cooking until pork is very tender and juices are slightly thickened, about 45 minutes.
• Add green beans to stew. Cover and cook over low heat until beans are just tender, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
