Ingredients

1 pound pork shoulder, lean, trimmed of fat
3/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
2 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
4 teaspoons vegetable oil vegetable
2 cups onions chopped
2 teaspoons garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves dried
1/2 teaspoon rosemary leaves dried
1 cup apple cider
2 cups water
1 pound carrots chopped into 2 inch pieces
1 pound potatoes red, chopped into 1 inch chunks
24 ounces turnip
2 tablespoons prepared mustard coarse

Directions

Trim pork of all visible fat and then cut in 1-inch pieces. Sprinkle pork with 1/4 ts of the salt and the pepper. Toss with the flour until coated.

Heat 2 ts of the oil in a 5 quart pot over medium-hight heat. Shake excess flour from pork and add 1/2 to pan. Cook until browned, turning pork often, about 3 minutes. Remove to a plate. Repeat with remaining oil and pork.

Reduce heat to medium and add onoin to sauté pan. Saute until softened and light brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute. Add pork, thyme, rosemary, cider, remaining 1/2 ts salt and one cup of the water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 hour and 15 minutes or until pork is just tender.

Add carrots, red and sweet potatoes, turnips and remining 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender. Remove 1 cup vegetables with broth. Put in a food processor or blender with the mustard and puree until smooth. Gently stir into stew.

CROCKPOT DIRECTIONS: This can be prepared the night before and refrigerated in the crockpot liner. Before leaving for work in the morning, toss the liner into the heating unit and don't forget to turn on Low.

Brown meat and sauté onions and garlic in oil as directed. While these are browning, prepare the vegetables and put in bottom of crockpot. Add the browned onion and garlic and then the meat (on top). Sprinkle seasonings over all. Pour the cider on, and cover and cook for 10 or 12 hours on Low, until meat and vegetables are tender.

About 15 minutes before serving, check the amount of liquid in the stew. Quite a bit should have accumulated, but add some or all of the water to make as much sauce as desired. Thicken with pureed vegetables and liquid as directed, turning the crockpot to High after returning the vegetable thickener to the mixture.

Wild Mushroom Soup (Minestra Di Funghi Selvatici)

Excellent authentic Italian flavor. A few pots required to make although it's easy to simplify this recipe if you are missing some of the ingredients. It will still turn out quite excellent. The earthiness of the mushrooms yield a great belly warming soup.
