Dutch Oven Pork Stew Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (2 pound) boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 tablespoon dried chives
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1 (26 ounce) jar pasta sauce
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 cups frozen whole kernel corn
• 2 cups quartered fresh button mushrooms
• 1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise

Directions

1. Sprinkle the pork cubes evenly with kosher salt and ground black pepper.
2. In a large Dutch oven, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the pork cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until browned. Remove the pork to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining pork cubes.
3. Once the pork is browned, add the chopped onion, celery, dried chives, dried parsley, dried basil, and dried dill weed to the Dutch oven. Stir occasionally and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.
4. Pour in the pasta sauce, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and add the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes, frozen corn, quartered mushrooms, and halved baby carrots. Stir well to combine.
5. Return the browned pork to the Dutch oven, stirring to mix everything together. Bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat and vegetables are tender.
