SOUTHWESTERN PORK STEW



Southwestern Pork Stew image

From The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. I haven't made it yet. They also call for using 1/2 t. salt when cooking the onions. I don't see the point and wish to avoid the sodium, so that was left out. Their method uses an oven-proof Dutch oven I'll probably just cook mine stovetop.

Time 2h45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 onions, chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 lbs country-style boneless pork ribs, trimmed
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
5 cups low sodium chicken broth
3 (14 ounce) cans hominy, rinsed (white or yellow)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
pepper

Steps:
