Pork stew and rice

I was supposed to serve this stew with polenta but we forgot and Ricky made2 a vegetable fried rice instead. He added curry powder to cooked rice just for a little flavour. He sauteed the rice with courgettes, onion and sweet pepper.

Cut a joint into cubes. Put into a saucepan and add bay leaves, a vegetable stock cube, onion, garlic, celery, tomato pureè and carrots. Add salt and pepper if you like.

Leave to boil and then simmer for an hour until the meat is tender. I made the stew a few days before I needed it and decided to freeze it.

Ricky defrosted the stew and then reheated it.
