Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, minced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 pounds ground pork
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 egg
½ cup dry bread crumbs
6 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
1 bay leaf
¼ cup cold water
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread flour out in a thin, even layer on a baking sheet.
  • Roast the flour in the preheated oven until medium brown in color, 10 to 15 minutes; stir often and watch carefully to avoid burning. Remove the flour from the baking sheet immediately once the desired color has been reached; set aside in a shallow bowl to cool.
  • Melt butter in a large, heavy pot over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion to a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; stir the spice mix into the onion. Place ground pork, parsley, egg, and bread crumbs into the bowl, and mix to combine thoroughly. Form the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs; roll each meatball in the roasted flour. Reserve unused flour.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the pot, bring to a boil over medium heat, and carefully drop in the meatballs, a few at a time, stirring to keep them from sticking on the bottom. Drop in the bay leaf. Simmer the meatballs for 20 minutes; mix in the potatoes, and simmer until potatoes are tender and the broth has reduced, an additional 20 minutes. Transfer the meatballs into a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Remove and discard bay leaf. Mix remaining roasted flour with cold water in a cup, and gradually whisk the flour mixture into the simmering broth to thicken. Bring the gravy to a full boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Return the meatballs to the stew, and serve.

RAGOûT DE PATTES DE COCHON (PORK STEW WITH MEATBALLS)



Ragoût De Pattes De Cochon (Pork Stew With Meatballs) image

This is a traditional Quebecois stew made from pork hocks. I'm looking for recipes that DH remembers from childhood. This one was found on bitsnbites.wordpress.com and grouprecipes.com .The stew is a modification of one by Jehane Benoit, a famous Quebec cook. For a richer stock, caramelize you onions and hocks until dark brown. You can use Recipe #356677 - Caramelized Onions. NOTE: The cooking time doesn't include the optional (but recommended to reduce fat content) overnight refrigeration time.

Time 6h45m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 lbs pork hocks
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1/4 teaspoon clove, ground
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter, to caramelize onions
2 tablespoons fat, ie shortening, lard, to brown hocks
4 -6 cups water
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 cup onion, sliced and caramelized
4 -6 tablespoons flour, roasted
1/2 cup water
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
allspice, to taste
2 lbs ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1/4 teaspoon clove, ground
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • STOCK:.
  • The day before serving the ragout, season pork hocks with salt, pepper, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
  • Caramelized onions in a deep saucepan in 2 Tbsp butter (Recipe #356677). Remove from saucepan.
  • In same saucepan, melt 2 tbsp fat and , then brown hocks until dark brown in colour on all sides (this is the secret to a great ragout).
  • Add water, chicken bouillon cube, and onions to pork hocks. Bring to a boil, and then simmer for at least two hours, until meat falls from bones.
  • At this point it's a good idea to remove pork hocks from saucepan and refrigerate the hocks and ragout overnight in fridge so that you can.
  • Remove/skim the congealed fat.
  • Roast flour in 350F oven until caramel brown. This takes about 1 hour. (should be dark brown but not burnt so keep an eye on it). Alternatively you may brown the flour in a hot dry pan (No oil!), stirring continuously until it's a rich, deep, brown colour. (You must be careful not to burn the flour by controlling the temperature of your pan and stirring constantly until done).
  • Remove meat from bone and set aside.
  • Thicken ragout by using a jar or blender to mix the roasted flour with the 1/2 cup water and pour into the ragout, stirring until well mixed and broth has thickened to a nice consistency.
  • Season with salt, pepper and allspice to taste.
  • Add cooked pork meatballs and pork meat and heat thoroughly.
  • MEAT BALLS:.
  • Mix all ingredients and pat mixture into a 1 inch thick rectangle, then cut into 1 inch squares.
  • Shape each square into a 1 inch meatball.
  • Bake in 400F oven for 10 minutes.
  • Add to Ragoût de pattes to complete cooking.
  • Ragout is sometimes served with boiled or mashed potatoes.
