Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown pork in batches 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on edges. Transfer to a plate.

    Add onion to the same skillet, stirring, until softened and light gold, about 4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Return pork to the skillet. Add broth, peas, caraway seeds, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.

  4. Step 4

    Simmer, uncovered, 8–10 minutes until peas are tender and pork is cooked through.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in mustard. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Remove bay leaves before serving.
