So yesterday was the first official day of autumn 🍂 I know quite a few people are feeling a bit low and struggling at the moment particularly with so much uncertainty. This budget friendly recipe is pretty much a hug in a bowl 😊️ and one I keep coming back to because it’s so good! On this occasion I actually used pork shoulder steaks and simply pulled them apart when they were succulent and tender. If you can get your hands on a small bottle of good quality cider then please do as it makes the most delicious gravy, but I have included other options. Sometimes I add thyme, or even wilt in a small amount of spinach once it’s cooked. This time I chopped in flat leaf parsley. Don’t forget to hit save. It’s the bottom right hand icon for those of you who don’t know.

METHOD
Start by browning the seasoned pork in batches, then set aside.
Add the onions to the pan and cook for a few minutes. Season, add the whole garlic bulb, Apple, mushrooms and the flour. Stir well.
Add the wine/cider/stock to the pan, stir and gently simmer to let the alcohol burn off.
Return the pork to the pan, stir and simmer in a slow cooker on low 130 for 5 hours or 150 degrees for 2.5 hours. Squeeze the garlic from the bulb using tongs and mix into the sauce
Serve with Jacket Potatoes 🥔
