Method

  1. 1.
    Place flour into a snap-lock bag. Season with salt and pepper. Add pork, seal and shake to lightly coat.
  2. 2.
    Heat oil in a large casserole pan or deep heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat.
  3. 3.
    Add bacon and cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towel.
  4. 4.
    Add pork, in batches, to the pan and cook, turning often, over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes or until evenly browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  5. 5.
    Reduce heat to medium. Add onions, celery, carrot and garlic to pan. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until onions soften.
  6. 6.
    Stir in tomato paste, mustard and thyme. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in wine and stock to pan. Cover and bring to boil over medium heat.
  7. 7.
    Return pork to the pan, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Add potatoes and mushrooms. Cook for a further 30 minutes or until pork is tender and potatoes are cooked.

    Sprinkle with extra thyme. Serve with crusty bread, if liked.
