Crock Pot Normandy Pork With Apples, Shallots & Cider
SERVES 8 -10
3 lbs pork shoulder, trimmed of fat & cubed
4-6 apples, cored & halved
1 1/2 lbs shallots, peeled
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 ounces butter
1 fluid ounce olive oil
1/2 pint sweet apple cider
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
6 ounces creme fraiche or sour cream
1/4 pint chicken stock, thickened
fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
salt
black pepper
1-2 tablespoon calvados or brandy
Directions
1Trim the pork of any thick fat!. Cut into large cubes of about 4" square or even bigger - it shrinks with cooking & works better with larger pieces of meat!.
2Peel the shallots and set to one side!.
3Halve & core the apples and set to one side with the shallots!.
4Turn the crockpot onto High!. Mix the cider, cider apple vinegar, creme fraiche, salt & pepper, thyme & thickened chicken stock together in a large pouring jug & pour into the crockpot!.(If using fresh thyme - leave to last!.) Add the cored and halved apples and replace the lid whilst you brown the pork & shallots!.
5Heat up half the butter & half of the olive oil in a large skillet or wok-type pan, one with fairly high sides!.
6As soon as it is smoking but not burning, brown the shallots in batches - you want a deep caramelised colour & the shallots just softened on the outside!. When all the shallots have been done, put them all back into the pan - turn up the heat & add the balsamic vinegar and stir briskly making sure all the shallots are well coated!.
7Add the shallots & Balsamic vinegar mixture to the crockpot!.
8Heat up the remaining butter and oil, adding more if necessary & start to brown the pork pieces, again do not overcrowd the pan - they need to be well coloured & seared to seal in the juices!. As the pork pieces are browned, add them to the crockpot!.
9When all the pork is browned & added to the crockpot, give all the ingredients a good mix around in the crockpot with a wooden spoon!. If using fresh thyme, pick about 4 large sprigs and place on top of the Normandy Pork - the leaves fall off during cooking & leave the bare branches for throwing away!
10Cook on high for between 6 - 10 hours!.
11Just before serving, pour in Calvados and mix through!. Serve each person with 2 -3 pieces of pork, a cooked apple half & 1 or 2 shallots; add a dollop of creme fraiche on the side & garnish with Thyme & a fresh Apple sliver if desired!. Decant the excess sauce into a gravy boat for extra saucy bits!
12Great with spiced red cabbage, fluffy mashed potatoes or pommes Dauphinoise!.
13To cook in an conventional oven, follow recipe as above, but cook in a La Creuset type oven proof dish; pre-heat oven to 175 C or 350 F and cook slowly for about 6 hours, checking after 4 hours!. It will cook quite happily for up to 8 hours if this helps in your time management, you may have to turn the oven down to about 125 C, 250 F after 4 hours for a long slow 8 hour cooking time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

many variations of these ingredients from German to Polish and back to English!. I'll give you a for instance!.
Coat the pork chops well in seasoned flour!.
Brown fairly well in heavy skillet in oil or grease
Remove chops and most of oil, leave 1 tblsp!.
Peel, core and slice apples, any kind, including green ones
about 1/2" thick!.
Put 1 tsp butter in skillet with oil and let melt!. Add apple slices and lower heat to simmer!. Add 3-4 whole cloves and some pepper and stir!. Add chops back to skillet and cover!.
Let simmer until chops are done!.
If you like German food, and would like to make some wide egg noodles with this, add butter and caraway seeds to the noodles and you're all set!.
If you would like something different, add sour cream to the skillet right at the end and serve with mashed potatoes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
