Pork stew with tomato sauce is a cozy dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of meat with a rich sweet-and-sour tomato note. It embodies the traditions of rustic cooking, where meat is slowly simmered in broth until tender and aromatic. Onions and carrots add sweetness, while bay leaves and garlic deepen the flavor. The dish is served hot, soaked in thick sauce that pairs wonderfully with a side dish. Perfect for a family dinner when you crave something warm and hearty.
