Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. 2 Place beef bones on a large rimmed baking sheet.
3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until bones are browned and charred in spots, about 40 minutes, turning once halfway through.
4. 4 Transfer bones to an 8-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Add carrots, onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and bay leaves; pour in enough water to cover. Select Sauté function and bring to a boil, uncovered, for about 20 minutes.
5. 5 Skim the top of liquid to remove any foamy bits and impurities; discard. Add peppercorns, coriander seeds, and cloves. Cancel Sauté function.
6. 6 Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions and seal the steam release handle; set the timer for 2 hours. Allow 30 minutes for pressure to build.
7. 7 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 30 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, 1 to 2 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
8. 8 Place a large fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth over a large pot or 8-cup liquid measure. Remove and discard bones from broth, then pour into the prepared strainer. Press on solids until all liquid has drained. Discard solids; skim off any fat from surface, if needed, and stir salt into broth.

Instructions

1. 1 Place the bacon in a large, deep pot, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring to turn pieces occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon pieces on a paper towel-lined plate. With a paper towel, wipe the bacon grease out of the pot but keep as much of the brown bits as possible. Stir in the onion, sauerkraut, brown sugar, and chicken broth, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the potatoes and apple slices.
2. 2 Place the juniper berries, peppercorns, cloves, parsley, and bay leaf into a small cheesecloth square, and tie the ends together to make a spice bag (or place the spices into a stainless steel tea ball). Place the spice bag into the pot, and add the pork chops and kielbasa sausage pieces. Add more chicken broth, if needed, to just cover the ingredients. Bring the pot to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the potatoes are very tender, about 1 hour.
3. 3 To serve, use a slotted spoon to remove the sauerkraut, potatoes, and apple slices to the center of a serving platter. Arrange bacon, pork chops, and kielbasa pieces around the outside of the platter.

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread flour out in a thin, even layer on a baking sheet.
2. 2 Roast flour in the preheated oven until medium brown in color, 10 to 15 minutes; stir often and watch carefully to avoid burning. Remove flour from the baking sheet immediately once the desired color has been reached; set aside in a shallow bowl to cool.
3. 3 Melt butter in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer onion to a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; stir spice mix into onion. Place ground pork, parsley, egg, and bread crumbs in the bowl, and mix to combine thoroughly. Form meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs; roll each meatball in the roasted flour. Reserve unused flour.
4. 4 Pour chicken broth into the pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Carefully add the meatballs, stirring to keep them from sticking to the bottom. Add the bay leaf. Simmer meatballs 20 minutes. Add potatoes and simmer until potatoes are tender and the broth has reduced, about 20 minutes longer. Transfer meatballs to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
5. 5 Remove and discard bay leaf. Mix remaining roasted flour and cold water together in a cup. Gradually whisk flour mixture into the simmering broth to thicken. Bring stew to a full boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
6. 6 Season with salt and black pepper. Return meatballs to stew and serve.

Instructions

1. 1 Pierce whole clove into onion; place into a large soup pot. Add water, white wine, celery, garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and carrots, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Transfer chicken pieces to a bowl; strain stock. Reserve about 2 cups stock; discard vegetables and herbs.
2. 2 Sprinkle chicken pieces with flour. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate; set aside. Add mushrooms to the skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until just starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
3. 3 Return chicken to the skillet; pour in enough reserved stock to barely cover chicken and mushrooms (about 2 cups). Cover skillet; simmer 20 minutes. Transfer chicken and mushrooms to a serving dish. Boil remaining liquid until reduced by half, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes.
4. 4 Whisk cream, lemon juice, and egg yolk together in a bowl; remove skillet from the heat. Gradually whisk egg yolk mixture into reduced stock until sauce thickens; whisk in tarragon. Serve sauce over chicken and mushrooms.
