Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/4 lbs lean pork, diced
2 large onions, diced
2 large carrots, thickly sliced
2 parsnips, thickly sliced
2 leeks, washed and sliced into 1in lengths
2 1/8 cups dry cider
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon cornstarch
7 ounces half-fat creme fraiche
2 apples
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the pork in batches, until just browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and put in a casserole. Add the onions to the frying pan and fry for 5 minutes, stirring, until just transparent. Place in the casserole with the pork.
  • Add the vegetables to the casserole, then pour over the cider and add the bay leaves. Put over a high heat and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until the pork is tender.
  • Allow to cool, then freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Thaw for 24 hours in the fridge. To reheat, put into a large pan over a medium heat and heat until piping hot.
  • Stir the mustard and cornstarch into the creme fraiche, then stir into the casserole. Core and cut the apples into wedges. Add to the casserole and simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened. Season and serve.
