Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven.

Add about 1 lb of chunked pork shoulder (country style spare ribs) to the pot and let it brown.

Add 1 sweet potato, chopped, to the pot.

Cover the pot with a lid and let it steam for about 5 minutes.

Remove the lid and add the chopped apples, onions, and red bell pepper to the pot.

Cover the pot again and let it cook for another 10 minutes.

Add 1 roma tomato, chopped, and scatter it around the pot.

Add the gourmet blend of mushrooms and scatter them in as well.

Cover the pot and let it cook for another 10 minutes.

Put the lid back on and add charcoal on top to create top heat for browning.

After about 5-6 minutes, remove the lid and sprinkle grated Parmesan Rano cheese on top.

Let it cook for a few more minutes to melt the cheese.

Remove the pot from the heat and serve the dish, garnished with sliced scallions.
