Hearty Pork Stew
Parsnips, that root vegetable that looks like a creamy white carrot, have a
slightly sweet flavor that goes nicely with pork. However, instead of the
parsnips, two more sliced carrots can be used and the stew will be just as
colorful and tasty.
Prep: 25 min
Cook: Low 6 to 7 hr OR High 3 to 4 hr
Finish: High 30 to 45 min
1 1/2 pounds pork boneless loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices (1 1/2 cups)
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 carton (32 ounces) ready-to-serve chicken broth
2 cups 1/2-inch diced peeled parsnips
1 1/2 cups 1-inch cubes peeled butternut squash
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons Gold MedalR all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons margarine or butter, softened
1. Mix all ingredients except flour and margarine in 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow
cooker.
2. Cover and cook on low heat setting 6 to 7 hours (or high heat setting 3
to 4 hours) or until pork is no longer pink and vegetables are tender.
3. Mix flour and margarine. Gently stir flour mixture, 1 spoonful at a time,
into pork mixture until blended.
4. Cover and cook on high heat setting 30 to 45 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until thickened.
Chicken broth is available in an aseptic box that is handy to use. It has an
easy-to-open pour spout, and any leftover broth can be stored in the box in
the refrigerator. Four cups of chicken broth or broth made from bouillon
cubes or granules can be used in place of the box of broth.
