A simple, stick-to-your-ribs pork stew built from pantry-friendly ingredients and slow-simmered for rich flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into chunks
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the pork chunks in a single layer and brown on all sides, about 3–4 minutes per side.
  2. Remove browned pork if needed. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until onion is translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Return the pork to the pot. Add potatoes and carrots, then pour in the broth. Stir in dried thyme, paprika, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bring the pot to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours, checking occasionally.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. If stew is watery, simmer uncovered 5–10 minutes to thicken; if too thick, stir in more broth or water. Ladle into bowls and serve.

Notes

Pork shoulder is best for its fat and connective tissue. Substitute with boneless pork butt or for a leaner option, reduce simmer time. Vegetable broth can be used for a lighter base.
