For the filling

1 ½ lb boneless pork shoulder, cut into ¾-inch cubes
Chef's tip
Use the same weight of boneless chicken thighs and cut them as directed. For thin slices, skewers, stir-fries, or frying, cook to 165°F (74°C). For covered braises, cook about 45 minutes; for a slow cooker, use 3 to 4 hours on low.
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
3 stalks celery, cut into ½-inch pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
Chef's tip
Use unsweetened dairy-free heavy cream in cooked sauces, soups, and ganache. For whipped uses, choose a product labeled whippable.
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 cup frozen peas, thawed

For the egg wash

1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp water

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Pat the pork cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and pepper.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork in a single layer — work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding — and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden brown on at least two sides. Transfer the browned pork to a plate and set aside.
