Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, cubed
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until it shimmers.
  2. Brown the pork shoulder cubes in the pot for 6โ€“8 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and sautรฉ until softened, about 6โ€“8 minutes.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30โ€“60 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Return the pork to the pot, add potatoes, broth, thyme, rosemary, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 1.5โ€“2 hours until pork is fork-tender.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm.

Notes

Pork shoulder is best for slow cooking; opt for pork loin for a leaner alternative but reduce simmer time. Serve with crusty bread or over creamy polenta.
