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)

The appeared in Womans Day Magazine and the photo set my heart aflutter. Need to do a little decluttering so I wanted to type it up and decided to take a chance and post it untried. Great ingredients combined with easy preparation and a short cooking time. What's not to love? Even better it is WW Core and just 5 points on Flex.

Categories     Stew

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/4 lbs pork tenderloin, cut into bite sized pieces
1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 poblano peppers, seeded and diced
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fat free chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1 cup frozen corn
1 1/2 cups salsa, a chipotle version suggested
cilantro (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the cubed tenderloin and cook for 7 minutes, turning so all sides are browned and the pork is cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add the remaining teaspoon of oil to the pan along with the onions, peppers and sweet potatoes. Cover and cook for three minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the sweet potatoes, continuing to cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, cumin and cinnamon, stirring so that the spices are well mixed into the vegetables. There should be a nice aroma at this point. Stir in the water and broth and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and add in the corn. Cook covered for 5 minutes.
  • Add in the salsa and the cooked pork. Cook until heated through. If you are using salsa from the fridge, I would suggest adding it a minute before the meat so that it cn heat up without leaving the tender meat tough.
  • Garnish with cilantro and serve with warm tortillas or tortilla chips.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder or pork butt are both good choices for stewing because they are tough cuts that become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the pork before stewing. Browning the pork adds flavor and helps to prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for pears, sweet potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion, but you can use any vegetables that you like.
  • Add a good quality stock. The stock will add flavor and depth to the stew.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to the stew. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour. The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the meat will become.
  • Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or rice. The bread or rice will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

This pork stew with pears and sweet potatoes is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. The pork is tender and juicy, the vegetables are sweet and caramelized, and the sauce is rich and savory. This stew is sure to become a family favorite.
