One Pot - Stew Roast Pork with Potato and Carrot

A One Pot Meal has always been my favourite since everything can be cooked in a go, why not? I love to have most of everything inside one pot, for example a combination of meat and vegetables together. I'm a typical mother that wish my children will eat everything that served on the table but too bad, this could only happened once in a bluemoon so, to make it a habit I will always include vegetables in my cooking, either its green or leafy, red or purple? as long as vegetable, will do.

Ok, Last weekend my cousin sister dropped by to our house with a portion of yummy roasted pork. I wrapped it with aluminium foil and kept it in the freezer. 

And I have a pretty late meeting around 5pm in town and I don't wanna buy dinner at the take away stall so what came to my mind was this "One Pot Meal"... I defrost the roast pork 2 hours earlier and used up the ingredients thats is suitable in the fridge like potatoes and carrots.

Ingredients

Roast pork x 1 piece (500gm) preferably with fats
Russet Potatoes x 2 (cut slice)
Carrots x (cut slice)
Water x 3 cups
Sugar x 1 tsp
Apple Cider Vinegar x 1 tsp
Olive Oil x 1 tsp
Bay Leave x 1 piece

Methods

1. Use a non stick pan, heat it with some olive oil. Brown each side of the roasted pork till light brown. Do not use high flame, low flame will do. The roasted pork will produce oil during the browning process. Set aside the pork. Maintain the oil and add in cut potatoes and carrots and fry till brown and aromatic. Pour in water, and wait until its boiling, transfer potatoes and carrots into crock pot.

2. Meantime, cut the pork into bite size (1inch). Put the pork in a stew pot/crock pot. Add in all other wet and dry ingredients.

3. Cover crock pot and turn flame to high. When its boiling reduce flame to low and stew for 1 hour. Keep checking the water level, make sure it covers the solid.

4. I did not add in salt nor pepper because the stew will highly depending on the marinate from the roast pork. You may add salt and pepper to taste.
