Ingredients

1
kg skinless boneless pork shoulder, cut into bite-size pieces
50 g
plain flour
1 Tbsp.
olive oil
75 g
pancetta, diced
500 ml
cider
800 g
potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
1
leek, finely sliced
150 ml
chicken stock
2 Tbsp.
wholegrain mustard
100 ml
crème fraiche
Small handful parsley, leaves picked and roughly chopped

Directions

1. Step 1In a medium bowl, toss the pork shoulder with the flour and plenty of seasoning. Heat oil in large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the pork in the frying pan, in batches if needed, removing to the bowl of a slow cooker when done. Scrape any flour paste stuck to the pan into the slow cooker.
2. Step 2Add the pancetta to the empty frying pan and fry until golden, around 3min. Add the cider and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5min until reduced by 2/3. Add the pancetta and cider mixture to the bowl of the slow cooker, along with the potatoes, leek, chicken stock, mustard and some seasoning. Stir until combined.
3. Step 3Cover and cook on low for 6hr, until the pork is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
4. Step 4Once cooked, stir through the crème fraiche, recover the lid and heat until hot through. Stir in the parsley, check seasoning, and serve with crusty bread if you like.
