Health and fertility benefits of Pork Stew with Lettuce, Onions, Lemon and Dill

Romaine lettuce contains chromium, which helps maintain normal blood glucose levels by making insulin more efficient. The chromium in romaine lettuce also promotes weight loss due to its ability to help control cravings, reduce hunger, and control fat in the blood. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

12 large romaine lettuce leaves, torn into pieces
2 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder (butt), cut into 1-inch pieces
18 boiling onions, peeled
1/4 cup (or more) fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/2 cup whipping cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line bottom of heavy large ovenproof pot with half of romaine lettuce. Toss pork, onions, 1/4 cup lemon juice, dill, oil, sugar and lemon peel in large bowl to blend. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place pork mixture in pot. Top with remaining romaine lettuce. Bring to boil over high heat. Cover pot. Transfer to oven and bake until pork and onions are tender, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
Strain juices from stew into medium saucepan; mix in cream. Boil until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, about 10 minutes. Return sauce to stew. Season stew with salt, pepper and more lemon juice, if desired. Rewarm stew; transfer to large bowl and serve.
