A thick, cozy pot of tender pork, starchy potatoes, and softened vegetables, perfect for a comforting one-pot dinner.

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 6–8 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté until softened, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30–60 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 1.5–2 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.
