PREHEAT oven to 160c/gas mark 3. Brown the pork in the oil and half the butter for around 10-15 minutes, until caramelise­d. Add salt and pepper. Let the water evaporate then remove the pork. Add the vegetables to the pan with the remaining olive oil and saute for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Pour in the wine and let it reduce for 5 minutes. Add the stock and stir, ensuring the meat and vegetables are immersed. Cover and put into the oven for 90 minutes. Stir in the remaining butter and season to taste. Mix the lemon juice with the egg yolks. When the pork is tender, remove from the heat. Push the stew to one side to create a pool of liquid.
