Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder
• 4 medium potatoes
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 medium onions
• 1 bunch fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 8 cups water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by cutting the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes. Season with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork cubes and brown them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   While the pork is browning, chop the onions and garlic. Once the pork is browned, add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent.

4. 4

   Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the pot along with the bay leaves and 8 cups of water.

5. 5

   Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

6. 6

   After 1 hour, check the tenderness of the pork and vegetables. If they are tender, remove the bay leaves and stir in the chopped parsley.

7. 7

   Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if needed. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

8. 8

   Serve the Kiaulienos Sriuba hot in bowls, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
