I have some pork shoulder, cut in nice big stew chunks. I also have a bottle of hard cider. And red onion & carrots. What kind of greens would you throw in that pot? Anything else?

Salt, garlic - probably as whole peeled cloves, cumin? Also, I'd use at least one umami "cheat", whether that's fish sauce or anchovies or miso paste.

I dunno much about stewing with greens, so my instinct would be to cook em separately.

I would use spinach or mustard greens. I like stewing with mustard greens cut into strips, the best. I sauteed or roast them first.

Potatoes! :")

I would love potatoes in there, but I'll be serving it with rice or noodles, that's enough carbs.

I do have fish sauce. I have spinach, but there's a few dollars to pick up something different. Mustards sound good, I really like them with pork. Should pick up a piece of garlic too, don't have any fresh in the house. Plan to season with my house mix, which is black & red pepper, garlic powder, paprika, celery seed. Fish sauce is salty, prolly won't need to add much salt. Also a lil prepared mustard, I'm out of mustard powder. Maybe a pinch of ginger...

Another option would be to mix in fresh greens just before you serve. They'll preserve their flavor and texture and make a nice contrast with the stew. Chopped mustard, kale or bok choy.

Yes, thin greens would get thrown on top near the end of cooking, to wilt & soak up flavor but not stewed into strings :-)

Bok choy is kind of my go to green, I buy/cook it more than any other. It's possible I go with that again :-)

I'm making this stove top, thought about the slow cooker but nah, not this time.
