The white pork stew, spiced and aromatic, cooked in the slow cooker is a simple second course to prepare and it’s one of those “low cost, maximum yield” recipes. Because you put it in and forget about it until it’s time to sit at the table. For the white pork stew, I used bay leaves and juniper berries, but from this base, you can select your preferred herbs and spices: rosemary, thyme, fennel, curry, cumin, garlic powder to your liking. And then, isn’t it convenient to find dinner ready?
