Slow-Cooked Pork Stew with Vegetables:

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs (about 900g) boneless pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 lb (about 450g) baby potatoes, halved
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup dry white wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork pieces with salt and pepper and brown them in batches until they are well seared. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.

2. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for a few minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.

3. Transfer the onions and garlic to a slow cooker. Add the browned pork pieces, carrots, celery, potatoes, and frozen peas to the slow cooker.

4. In a bowl, mix together the chicken or vegetable broth, white wine (if using), tomato paste, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Pour this mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.

5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, or until the pork is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

6. Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

7. Serve the pork stew in bowls, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
