2 tbsp olive oil

3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
2 medium parsnips, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds

Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

Instructions

1
Pat the pork cubes dry with paper towels. Heat the olive oil in a large pot 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.
2
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced onion to the same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
