Transylvania Pork Stew
2 tablespoons LAND O LAKES� Butter
1 1/4 pounds lean pork stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium (1/2 cup) onion, sliced
2 cups baby-cut carrots
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans diced tomatoes with chile peppers, undrained
Pastry Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup LAND O LAKES� Butter
2 ounces (1/2 cup) LAND O LAKES� Cheddar Cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons cold water
Chili powder, if desired
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 12-inch skillet until sizzling; add
pork and onion. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally,
until browned (4 to 5 minutes). Place in slow cooker.
Add carrots and corn to slow cooker. Sprinkle chili powder, cumin
and garlic powder over ingredients. Add diced tomatoes; stir until
combined. Cover; cook on Low heat setting for 7 to 9 hours, or on
High heat setting for 3 to 4 hours or until pork is fork tender.
Heat oven to 450�F. Combine flour and cheese in large bowl; cut in
1/3 cup butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water
with fork just until flour is moistened. Shape into ball; flatten
slightly.
Roll out ball of dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch circle.
Cut out shapes using 4 to 5-inch bat cookie cutter. Sprinkle with
chili powder, if desired. Place onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake
for 5 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
To serve, spoon stew into individual serving bowls; top with pastry
bat.
TIP: Look for stew meat at the meat department of your grocery
store. It�s often pieces of meat that have been trimmed away when
cutting pork roasts or chops or cut-up pork sirloin. The tougher
pieces of pork tenderize when cooked slowly in liquid such as in a
stew.
