I think that it is a basic, creamy stew, except that I have never made a stew with pork before, and I don&#8217;t usually put tarragon in things. First, here are the ingredients:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2.5 lbs boneless pork loin roast<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 &#8211; 1\/3 cup flour for coating<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon sea salt<\/li>\n<li>1\/8 teaspoon ground black pepper<\/li>\n<li>1\/8 &#8211; 1\/4 teaspoon garlic powder (fresh minced is optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>1 tablespoon olive oil<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons butter<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 large yellow onion, diced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>4-5 medium carrots, peeled and sliced<\/li>\n<li>1 slightly rounded tablespoon chicken base<\/li>\n<li>4 cups water<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 cup white wine (used Barefoot Refresh Sweet White, because that was what was handy)<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>12 oz frozen green beans<\/li>\n<li>3 cups whole corn <em>(mine was frozen from my garden last year, so it is on the creamy side)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup whole milk<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup white flour for thickening<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 &#8211; 1\/3 cup cream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cut pork loin roast into approximate one inch cubes.<\/p>\n<p>Mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder <em>(unless using fresh garlic, which would be added later)<\/em>, and 1\/4 &#8211; 1\/3 cup white flour.<\/p>\n<p>Coat pork with this dry mix by stirring them together in a bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Heat stew pot on medium heat. Add olive oil and butter. Brown coated pork pieces in the pot until they are cooked through, but still tender.<\/p>\n<p>Remove pork to a bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Use a bit more oil if needed to saute onion until tender. Add minced garlic, if using fresh, when onion is almost done.<\/p>\n<p>Add water, chicken base, carrots, white wine, and tarragon. Bring to a boil, then simmer until carrots are almost cooked. Stir occasionally, particularly to mix in chicken base.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, shake the milk together with the other (1\/2 cup) portion of flour. Save this mix for thickening.<\/p>\n<p>Add the corn and the beans. Stir in and bring the pot back to a boil, then simmer until all the vegetables reach\u00a0desired tenderness.<\/p>\n<p>Put pork back in.<\/p>\n<p>Then, stir continually while adding the thickening mix. Cook and stir until thickened, but it should take just a minute or two. Add the cream next.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here is a printable .pdf<\/strong> of the recipe:\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Creamy-Pork-Loin-Stew.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Creamy Pork Loin Stew<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Serves about 6 people, depending on how hungry they are or how many fresh biscuits are served with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This took about 1.5 hours<\/strong>\u00a0all together to prepare and cook. Since some of that was cooking time where I didn&#8217;t have to be stirring or watching the pot too closely, I got other kitchen clean-up done. I think this could turn into a regular menu item!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/pork-stew-in-pot.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-35186\" title=\"pork stew in pot\" src=\"http:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/pork-stew-in-pot-300x205.jpg\" alt=\"pork stew in pot\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/pork-stew-in-pot-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/pork-stew-in-pot-1024x700.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dailyimprovisations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/pork-stew-in-pot.jpg 1754w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; I was told it was delicious, so I thought I had better write down what I did to make it before I forgot!
