Pork with Marjoram Gravy


Pork with Marjoram Sauce (Wieprzowina w sosie majerankowym) is a traditional Polish dish that features tender pork cooked in a flavorful marjoram sauce. Marjoram is a popular herb in Polish cuisine, adding a distinct aroma and taste to the dish.

Ingredients:

- 300g pork, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 20g flour
- 300ml water or broth
- Seasonings (salt, pepper, etc.)
- Marjoram (optional)
- Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Cut the pork into small, bite-sized pieces. Slice the onion into thin slices.
2. Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat.
3.  Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté until they become soft and translucent.
4. Add the pork pieces to the pan and cook until they are browned on all sides.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the pork and onion mixture in the pan.
6. Stir well to coat the pork and onions evenly with the flour.
7. Gradually pour in the water or broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
8. Continue stirring until the flour is fully dissolved and the liquid thickens to form a gravy-like consistency.
9. Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings according to your taste preferences. Add marjoram for additional flavor.
10. Allow the gravy to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken further.
11. Once the gravy has reached the desired consistency and the pork is cooked through, remove the pan from the heat.
12. Serve the pork with onion gravy hot, accompanied by potatoes, groats, or your favorite side dishes.
