Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings 1 (2 ½ pound) boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch cubes salt and ground black pepper to taste 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 tablespoon butter 1 large onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 bay leaf ¾ teaspoon caraway seed 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle dark beer (such as Guinness) 2 cups chicken broth 3 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces 2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces ¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 12 Brussels sprouts, halved 3 cups mashed potatoes, or as needed 1 teaspoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish Directions Season pork with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Working in batches, cook and stir pork in hot oil until browned on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a bowl. Melt butter in the same pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot butter with a pinch of salt until onion is softened and translucent, 7 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir flour into onion mixture; cook and stir until flour is completely incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add bay leaf and caraway seed; cook for 2 minutes more. Pour in beer. Cook and stir until thickened, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir browned pork, broth, carrots, and celery into beer mixture; bring to a simmer. Stir 1/4 cup parsley and balsamic vinegar into stew; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until pork is fork-tender, about 2 hours. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook Brussels sprouts in boiling water until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. Stir Brussels sprouts into stew and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide mashed potatoes between 6 bowls. Ladle stew over potatoes and garnish with 1 teaspoon parsley. Chef's Tip You can use baby cabbage instead of Brussels sprouts, which can be hard to find. No one will know the difference, mainly because there isn't one. I Made It Print 528 home cooks made it!
