Pork and Red Pepper Stew

Serves 6 to 8

This is a delicious and easy pork stew recipe that is also quite healthy. You can use all red peppers or a mixture of red and green. I happened to have some frozen homemade pork broth the first time I made the recipe, but I usually use chicken broth, which is perfectly acceptable. You can add other items, such as mushrooms or, for an easy one pot meal, add potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2-1/2 pounds lean pork cubes
  • 2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
  • 1 large celery stalk, coarsely chopped
  • 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped red bell peppers, about 1-inch squares
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons juniper berries
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium pork or chicken broth
  • 1 cup dry vermouth (can use dry white wine or additional broth)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a stew pot over high heat. Add the pork in batches, browning all sides. Remove from pan. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add the carrot, celery and onion. Sauté until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers and garlic and sauté another 2 minutes. Return the pork to the pot. Add the juniper berries, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Sprinkle with the flour and stir until flour is well-combined with the vegetables and meat. Add the chicken broth and vermouth. Stir well until thickened. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until the pork is very tender, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours, adding some water or broth if the juices get too thick. Taste for seasoning. Serve with rice or buttered noodles.

Notes: As with most stews, this can be made a day ahead and reheated. Leftovers are also very good.
