Pork Or Chicken Cacciatore Watermelon's Style

I made this for my bf's birthday.. He loved it.. So did all my guests! I served this with angel hair pasta. It can be made ahead, then reheated on low heat. Or you can let the stew cook on low heat for 4 hours. (the cooking time is just an estimation, the longer you simmer it, the more tender the meat will be)

Steps

Saute bacon in a big saucepan , until browned and crispy.
Remove from pan , drain on paper towels.
Season pork with salt and pepper.
Using the reserved bacon grease , brown the pork pieces in batches.
Remove from pan and set aside.
Using the same pan , saute garlic and onion until soft.
Add bacon pieces and saute another 1 minute.
Add pork pieces , fry for another minute.
Stir in white wine and broth , let simmer in the covered pan for 5 minutes.
Add oregano , tarragon , rosemary , bay leaf , cayenne and diced tomatoes.
Continue to simmer for 15 minutes or so.
Add mushrooms , and cook in the covered pan until meat is very tender.
About 10 minutes before serving , stir in parsley and basil.
Remove stew from heat and stir in the cream.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Before serving , sprinkle with more fresh parsley.
