Large pot

Cutting board
- 1.5 pounds boneless pork cubes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, cubed
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the pork cubes and brown them on all sides for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3 minutes until the onion softens.
Pour in the apple cider and chicken broth. Add the chopped sage, sliced carrots, and cubed potatoes.
Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Cover and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork and vegetables are tender.
Simmer uncovered for the last 10 minutes if you want a thicker broth. Fresh sage gives the best flavor here, but dried sage works in a pinch at half the amount. Leftovers reheat well on the stove with a splash of broth to loosen the sauce.
