Savory Pork Stew

1¾# lean pork – cubed

2T extra virgin olive oil

¼c± Balsamic vinegar

½ finely chopped onion

Saute' the pork and onions in the olive oil and about half of the vinegar. Cook and stir 10 minutes or so until the liquid evaporates and the meat is nicely browned. Then add the following ingredients:

1 can stewed tomatoes

3 ribs of celery, sliced

3 carrots slice-chopped

1½ rough chopped onions

1 lg clove of elephant garlic

~ or 3-5 regular cloves, sliced

½-2T Rosemary Seasonings

~ or salt, pepper, seasoning salt, etc.

¼c± Balsamic vinegar

Cover and simmer 30 minutes. Check the meat. If it's tough, simmer an additional 30-45 minutes. When tender, add 3 scrubbed, rough cubed potatoes. Simmer, covered another 30 minutes. Thicken liquid if you want, with a couple tablespoons of flour dissolved in ½c cold water, or serve in a bowl as is. At this time you can also add 1-2c half & half or whole milk if you'd rather have a tomato-cream gravy. Photos shown both ways – before and after adding the milk. Check seasonings adding whatever is lacking. Serve with biscuits or crusty bread. . .Lin
