Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • ¼ cup olive oil, divided

  • 2 pounds pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • ½ cup flour

  • 3 large onions, cut into wedges

  • 4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken stock

  • 1 butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 10 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • 1 (8 ounce) package baby carrots

  • 4 stalks celery, chopped

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans whole pitted black olives, drained

  • 1 (8 ounce) package crimini mushrooms, sliced

  • cup Cabernet Sauvignon wine

  • 4 fresh sage leaves, chopped

  • 4 sprigs fresh oregano, chopped

  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped

  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped

  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Heat another 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. Toss the pork loin with the flour in a bowl to coat the pork evenly.

  3. Cook and stir the pork in the hot oil in the large pot until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, cook and stir the onions in the hot oil in the skillet until soft and brown, about 10 minutes.

  4. Pour the chicken stock into the large pot with the pork loin; add the browned onions, butternut squash, garlic cloves, minced garlic, baby carrots, celery, black olives, and crimini mushrooms. Bring the chicken stock mixture to a boil and reduce heat to medium low. Stir the Cabernet Sauvignon wine, sage, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and basil into the mixture. Place a cover on the pot and allow the mixture to simmer until fragrant and the pork loin is very tender, 2 to 3 hours.
