4 servings
- 1.5 lb boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 lb yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 bunch asparagus (about 12 oz), woody ends snapped off, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the pork cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with 1 tsp salt. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large 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 seared pork to a plate and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the pot. Add the diced onion and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5–6 minutes.
