Guinness Pork Casserole
List of Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the meat
Pat the pork dry and season with salt and pepper. Toss the pork pieces in flour until lightly coated (this helps thicken the stew).
Brown the meat
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the pork in batches until nicely golden on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Cook the bacon and sausages
In the same pot, add the bacon bits and cook until they release their fat and become slightly crispy. Add the sliced sausages and cook for a few minutes until lightly browned. Remove and set aside with the pork.
Sauté the vegetables
Add remaining olive oil if needed. Cook the onion for 4–5 minutes until soft. Add garlic, carrots, and celery, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Build the base
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1–2 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard (if using). Pour in the Guinness, scraping the bottom of the pot to lift all the flavorful bits. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Simmer the stew
Return the pork, sausages, and bacon to the pot. Add stock, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until: The pork is tender The sauce has thickened
Add final ingredients
Add the potatoes (if using) about halfway through cooking. Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5–10 minutes.
Finish and serve
Remove bay leaves. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
