It isn't necessary to add a lot if water, just see to that it doesn't get dry. We could easily have added less water than we did...

If it's too thin when it's ready add some type of starch. We also added some honey.

Fry the small onions and the mushrooms and add to the pot. The small onions need about 10-15 minutes at least in the pot. To the mushrooms I added some extra thyme.

In some recipes the pork is added before the rather long cooking time, however we prefer to add it shortly before serving.
