Istruzioni

Season the pork – Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper and toss to combine.

Brown the pork – Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan over high heat and cook the pork for 3–4 minutes until browned, in batches if needed. Set aside.

Add the veggies – Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the garlic, onion, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring, for 4–5 minutes, until soft and fragrant.

Add the seasonings – Return the pork to the pan along with the sweet paprika, caraway seeds (if using) and tomato paste. Stir to combine.

Add flour to thicken – Stir in the flour to create a paste.

Add the stock – Add the beef stock and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes and bring to a gentle simmer.

Simmer – Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cook, covered, for 2½ hours or until the pork is tender enough to break with a fork. Check and stir every 30 minutes. Add 125 ml (½ cup) of water if the sauce is sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Serve – Serve with potato gnocchi, noodles, mashed potato or creamy polenta and braised cabbage. Top with sour cream and parsley.
