In our country and especially in Transylvania, this is a renowned and very loved recipe. The most famous is the chicken recipe you find here, and also those of beef or lamb are delicious. But today we prepare it from pork shoulder.

Prepare the Ingredients

We need for the beginning about two pounds of pork, I preferred pork shoulder because the pulp contains a little fat which will give the stew a better taste.

We need a bigger onion, a piece of leeks, and one red pepper.

First, we sow the pork in thin slices. Whoever wants to cut the meat into cubes, but I have preferred today to slice it.

The meat slices seasoned them with sea salt and freshly ground pepper on both sides.

Clean the onions and the leeks and chop them.

We also cut red pepper as small as possible.

The mushrooms I cleaned and I sliced.

Let’s Start Cooking the Pork Shoulder Stew with Mushrooms

Heat 100 ml of sunflower oil in a saucepan. Whoever wants and can, can use the pork lard instead of oil, will be tastier.

After the oil has become hot, put the slices of meat on the frying pan.

We fry the meat a little on both sides, not much, after which we can add the onion, the leeks, and the chopped red pepper.

Season with a teaspoon of sea salt, a teaspoon of freshly ground pepper and a spoonful of sweet paprika. I also put a teaspoon of sweet pepper paste.

Once the onion, leeks, and pepper are soaked a little, put 500 ml of water and let it boil for about half an hour until the meat softens.

Put the sliced mushrooms and boil for 10-15 minutes.

Finishing the Stew

While steaming, we prepare the thick. In a bowl, we put about 300 ml of sour cream and two tablespoons of wheat flour and mix thoroughly until it has a smooth and creamy consistency.

Draw the saucepan from the fire, then slowly pour the thick over the stew, stirring constantly.

We leave for another five minutes, we put a bunch of chopped green parsley and ready, we’re done.
