Prep-25 min

Cook- 3 1/2 to 7 Hrs

 

1lb to 1 1/2lb pork loin chops(boneless)

2 large sweet taters, peeled and cut into 1"pieces

3 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 3/4" pieces

2 Granny Smith apples cored and cut into wedges

1 medium onion,cut into thin wedges

1 Tbsp packed brown sugar

1 Tbsp Dijon-style mustard

1 tsp of bottled minced garlic

1/2 tsp crushed red peppers

1 12oz can of beer(I like regular Michelob)

4 large Roma tomatoes, cut up

 

Step 1- Trim any excess fat off the chops. Cut meat into 3/4" cubes. Lightly coat large skillet with cooking spray; heat over med-high heat. Add meat; cook until meat is light brown. Set aside.

 

Step 2- In 5 to 6 qt CP(you can fit it into a 3 1/2-4 qt w/1lb meat), combine sweet taters, parsnips, apples, and onion. Add meat. In medium bowl, combine broth, brown sugar, mustard, thyme, garlic, and crushed red pepper-mix well. Pour broth mixture and beer over meat and vegs.

 

Step 3- Cover and cook on at desired time and temp(see above). After stew is done stir in Roma tomatoes-wait 5 mins-Chow Down.

I have this going right now, and I got it done early so I could do the 7 hr low cook on it, which makes it even better. The house is melodious(my new fav FnB word) with aroma right now.
