Ingredients:
- 1 boneless pork leg, cubed
- Olive oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 2 mushrooms, sliced
- 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dry basil
- 1 teaspoon oregano leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pork: Sprinkle pork cubes with salt and pepper.
-
Brown the Pork: In a large heavy frypan, preferably cast iron, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork cubes and brown them on all sides. Once browned, remove the pork from the pan and set it aside.
-
Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the chopped onions, minced garlic, celery, and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients: Return the browned pork to the pan with the cooked vegetables. Add the sliced mushrooms, crushed tomatoes, dry red wine, beef broth, rosemary, dry basil, and oregano leaves. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Simmer: Cover the pan and let the mixture simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the pork to cook through completely.
-
Serve: Once the pork is cooked and the flavors have developed, serve the Pork Cacciatore hot, either over squeezed open baked potatoes with broccoli spears or over noodles, as desired.
