Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 4 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder roast, cut into 2- to 3-inch chunks

  • 3 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1 cup fresh blackberries, or other fresh berries

  • 2 tablespoons lingonberry jam

  • 6 cups cold water

  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1 yellow onion, cut into large dice

  • 2 leeks, washed thoroughly, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 10 large brown mushrooms, halved

  • 1 small green cabbage, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces

  • 2 fennel bulbs, halved and cut into 1/4-inch strips

  • 1/4 cup torn cilantro leaves

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

Directions

  • Add pork to a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Add salt, honey, berries, lingonberry jam, and cold water, and turn the heat to high.


  • While stew is coming to a boil, add garlic, dry thyme, and ground coriander. When mixture comes to a rolling boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.


  • Stir in onion, leeks, and mushrooms, and simmer until meat is almost, but not quite fork tender,  about 45 minutes more.


  • Stir in cabbage, carrots, and fennel; continue to simmer until vegetables and meat are very tender, about 30 minutes. 


  • Season to taste with salt. Serve with fresh herbs scattered over the top.

    Chef’s Note:

    This stew can be made with any meat.

    For best results, purée the black berries, and pass through a strainer to catch the seeds before adding to the stew.

    Other root vegetables such as turnips, beets, and rutabagas were common ingredients used by the Vikings, and can all be added to this stew as well.
