Pork Stew with Prunes and Walnuts

Code07

Ingredients for 6 people:
1 kg. lean pork
2 onions
8 garlic cloves
1/2 liter of beer
1 bay leaf
500 gr. prunes (soaked in the brandy specified below)
1 glass of brandy
250 gr. walnuts, peeled
some olive oil
salt
parsley
Preparation:
Cut the meat into one-and-a-half inch pieces; salt and pepper them, and brown them
in a pan with 4 tablespoons of oil. When brown, remove the meat and reserve it.
Chop the onions, peel the garlic cloves, leaving them whole. Put everything to brown in
the same pan and season. Add, when the vegetables are brown, the meat and bay
leaf. Pour in the beer, simmer for 30 minutes over low heat.
Sauté the walnuts in some olive oil; next, add the prunes (brandy included), let it
simmer for a few mins, and mix this to the pan where the veggies were cooked, adding
also the meat. Let it stew for about 5 minutes. Serve when it is hot, although it tastes
better next day.
