Directions

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof Dutch oven or similar pan. Add the pork, in two batches, until the pork is well browned on all sides, about 6 minutes per batch. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside. Add in the onion, sweet potatoes, shallots, and garlic and sauté for 2–3 minutes.

  2. Add the pork with any accumulated juices back into the pan and sprinkle with the flour. Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously, until the flour is absorbed into the pork and vegetables. Add in the chicken broth, wine, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and add in the mushrooms.

  3. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with parsley.
