Pork Stew in an Autoclave
Delicious canned pork stew in an autoclave is a traditional meat dish that is easy to prepare at home. There are several options for preparing the conserve: without fat and with it, with fillet or with trimmings from a pork head. You can also cook pork stew with cereals or vegetables.

- buy exclusively fresh meat for this;

- buy fatty cuts. If there isn’t enough fat, you should buy lard separately;
- add a little shank to the meat for a tender taste.
