  • Heat the olive oil in a cast iron casserole dish, and fry the pork in the very hot oil so that it is well browned. Then add the bacon and the chopped onion and let it brown.
  • Once the pork is well cooked, add the thyme, bay leaf, sage, rosemary, and deglaze with half of the beer to cover the pork. Add 100g of chestnuts, and simmer very very gently covered for 2 hours. Regularly add a little beer and a little water. After 2 hours, turn off the heat and let it rest.
