Delicious pork and apple cider casserole with sage rice recipe collaboration by taste.com.au and SunRice.
Ingredients:
  • 800g pork shoulder, cut into 3cm cubes
  • 1 brown onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 medium fennel, cut into wedges
  • 1 carrot, peeled, thickly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 23.40 gm Dijon mustard
  • 250ml apple cider
  • 1.125l chicken stock
  • 50g butter
  • 125.00 ml sage leaves
  • 300g brown rice
  • 2 pink lady apples, cut into wedges
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 150C. Heat half of the oil in a large casserole pan over high heat. Sear one-third of the pork for 5 minutes until golden. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with the remaining pork in 2 batches.
  • Heat remaining oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté onion, fennel, carrot, and garlic for 5 minutes until golden. Add back the pork, sprinkle with flour, and cook for 2 minutes until well combined. Stir in mustard, then pour in cider and 1 1/2 cups (375ml) of chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
  • Cook the pork covered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until very tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat the butter in a large saucepan until foaming over medium-high heat. Cook sage leaves in batches for 2 minutes until crisp. Transfer to a plate. Stir in the rice, pour over the remaining stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook covered for 30 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, let it rest covered for 5 minutes. Toss with half of the sage before serving.
  • In a large frying pan over high heat, heat the remaining butter until sizzling. Add the apple wedges and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden color.
  • Spoon rice into bowls, then add pork casserole and apple wedges. Finish with a sprinkle of remaining sage leaves before serving.
