Steps
Steps
- 1Season the pork with 1 tsp of the salt. Heat 3 tbsp of the oil in a heavy casserole over high heat, brown the pork in two batches, 5–6 minutes each, and lift it out.
- 2Lower the heat to medium, add the onion to the fat and cook for 6 minutes until soft and golden, then add the garlic for 1 minute.
- 3Return the pork, pour in the wine and let it bubble for 3 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan, until the sharp smell of alcohol has gone.
- 4Add the hot water, thyme and bay leaf, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer gently for 50 minutes, until the pork is nearly tender.
- 5Meanwhile heat the remaining oil in a wide frying pan over high heat and fry the mushrooms for 6–8 minutes, stirring only now and then, until their liquid has evaporated and they are browned — added raw, they would water down the stew.
- 6Stir the mushrooms into the pork with the pepper and the remaining salt and simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes, until the sauce has reduced enough to coat the meat.
- 7Remove the bay leaf, stir in most of the parsley and rest for 5 minutes.
- 8Serve sprinkled with the rest of the parsley.
