Pork Stew with Artichokes: the recipe for a tender and succulent dish
The pork stew with artichokes is an easy, tasty main dish, ideal to serve at a Sunday family lunch. We sautéed small, tender artichokes in a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Once soft, add the previously floured cubes of meat, blend with a drop of white wine and continue cooking over a very low heat; the final result will be a tender and succulent dish, which will almost melt in your mouth.
Serve this pork stew with artichokes with a few slices of toasted bread, to flavor the juices. This recipe also turns into a rich dish. So let’s find out how to make pork stew with artichokes by following our recipe step by step.
Tips
Clean the artichokes and collect them gradually in a bowl with cold water, acidulated with lemon juice. In this way you will prevent them from blackening. Anyway, be careful to wear latex gloves to prevent your hands from getting stained.
For an impeccable result, use very fresh and tender artichokes. If they are no longer available, you can replace them with frozen ones.
In our recipe we used pork, but, for an even more elegant result, you can replace it with beef, veal or chicken.
If you don't like mint, add basil or fresh parsley. You can also add potatoes, to obtain an even more complete and rich dish.
You can cook your stew in a classic pan or, if you are particularly in a hurry, you can also use a pressure cooker; in the latter case you will halve the cooking time.
