Fall is in the air, a wonderful time of year when organic apples fill the trees and our produce bins. Our apple season is short and sweet: Mid-September through mid-October is prime time to enjoy the best of Minnesota-grown apples. This handpicked international recipe is a delicious way to get more local flavor on your fall menu.
Adapted from New York Times Cooking
Heat oil in large skillet and brown pork on all sides, working in 2 batches.
Remove pork, then sauté onions and apples in pan with the chilies, bay leaves and cloves, about 10 minutes.
Combine all ingredients in a dutch oven or slow cooker. Simmer on the stovetop at least an hour, or in slow cooker 4-6 hours on high, until meat is very tender.
Remove stew, reduce liquid if desired, and serve over cooked rice with chopped cilantro.
