Bükk-style Pork Stew with Potatoes | Homestyle Wild Mushroom One-Pot Meal

Rinse the pork leg, pat dry, and cut into thin, finger-thick strips. Finely dice the Kolozsvári bacon. Peel and finely chop the yellow onion and garlic. Clean the oyster mushrooms and brown button mushrooms; cut the oyster mushrooms into strips and slice the button mushrooms. Peel the potatoes and dice them into 2-3 cm cubes.

In a spacious pot or cast-iron skillet, render the fat from the Kolozsvári bacon together with the lard over medium heat. When the bacon bits are fried to a golden crisp, add the finely chopped yellow onion and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic to the onion base, stir well, then increase the heat and add the pork strips. Sear over high heat, stirring constantly, until the meat turns white and begins to lightly brown.
