Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup canned unsalted diced tomatoes
1 medium white onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic
1/2 chipotle in adobo sauce, plus 1 tablespoon of the sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
One 8-ounce sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks

1 tablespoon pickled jalapenos
1 cup 2 percent Greek yogurt
1/4 medium head red cabbage
1 medium Haas avocado
1 lime
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro
Eight 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Puree the tomatoes, onions, garlic, chipotle and adobo sauce in a food processor until completely smooth.
  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the pork in a single layer, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, undisturbed, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook until brown, about 1 minute more. Dust the meat with the chili powder, and add the tomato puree, sweet potatoes, chicken broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.

EASY, SPICED PORK STEW



Easy, Spiced Pork Stew image

Easy to make, easy to eat, and believe it or not, fairly lowfat/low-cal comfort food. Chipotles add a nice spice, and a sustained heat, but if you aren't sure, go easy to start - one adds a subtle spice, and you can always add more heat later with your favorite hot sauce. Even pre-teen kids love this one, plus it's tasty enough that I've made it for company. Versatile and easy. Adapted from a recipe found on epicurious.com.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or pork butt is the best cut for this stew, as it is a tough cut that becomes tender when braised in liquid.
  • Brown the pork before braising: Browning the pork in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe (cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder) give the stew a warm and flavorful taste. Feel free to adjust the amount of each spice to suit your own taste.
  • Add vegetables and beans: The vegetables and beans in this recipe add flavor, texture, and nutrients. You can use any vegetables you like, such as potatoes, carrots, celery, or green beans.
  • Cook the stew on low and slow: Cooking the stew on low heat for a long period of time allows the flavors to develop and the meat to become fall-apart tender.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This stew is delicious served with rice, mashed potatoes, or bread. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a creamy touch.
