Braised Pork and Apples
This is one of my very favorite recipes. Pork and apples just go
together well and taste good year-round to our family.
Makes 2 - 3 Servings
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds pork Boston butt
1 granny smith apple, sliced
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder*
6 fresh sage leaves
1 medium spanish onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup apple juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
kosher salt and fresh pepper, to taste
METHOD
1 Combine all ingredients into the Steamer/Rice Cooker Pot.
2 Close lid and press COOK for 2 hours or until meat is fall-apart
tender. If meat is not tender after 2 hours, add a bit more apple juice
and press COOK again.
3 Remove meat and taste liquid, adjusting seasoning if necessary. Skim
off excess fat and serve. (It tastes even better the next day.)
*We recommend Maggi brand.
