"I found this recipe in a Life magazine a few years ago. As the article says, it is just as good with a glass of wine and guests as it is with a cold beer in front of the TV."

directions

Season meat with S/P. Heat 3-4 quart saute pan over med-high heat. Add 1 tablespoons EVOO, and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot, add the meat and brown it deeply on all sides (7-10 minutes). Remove from heat and let sit on a plate.
Add remaining oil, onions, carrots, celery and garlic cloves. Saute stirring frequently, until veggies are just beginning to soften (about 4 minutes).
Return meat to the pan, and add broth, potatoes, basil and bay leaf. Bring broth to a boil, then reduce heat to med-low. Add wine. Let simmer for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to low.
Cook over low heat for 3 hours. Taste periodically, add S/P if needed. After removing heat, discard bay leaf, and serve hot.

The flavour was great but should it have been covered while simmering over low heat for the 3 hours or uncovered ?

Very tasty and easy to make pork stew. I followed the recipe, but put everything in my pressure cooker for the final cooking to save time. Made for Fall 2011 PAC.

Although I did follow this recipe right on down, with just the 2 of us for this stew, I cut it in half! Absolutely delicious, & my other half thoroughly appreciated me making this & using something other than chicken! Hearty, filling! What could be better! Thanks for posting it!
