Pork Loin & Sweet Potato Stew
Posted: Sun Sep 20, 2009 10:44 pm
Mrs. Slow cut this recipe out of one of those women's magazines, and insisted I make it. I cut back the proportions by a third to fit our household, but these are the ingredients as listed. This is comfort food at its best, in an easy, one pot recipe.
1.5 lb. pork loin rib end roast
1/4 C. flour
1.5 t. cumin
1.5 t. chili powder
1/2 t. salt
3 T. oil
2 medium onions, chopped
1 can chicken broth (14.5 oz.)
2 med. sweet potatoes (1.5 lb. total)
1 C. frozen peas
3 T. fresh cilantro, chopped
1 T. lime juice
Cut pork loin into 1.5" cube, dredge in flour seasoned with 1 t. cumin, 1 t. chili powder and salt. In large pot, brown meat in 2 T. oil, about 5 min. Add 1 T. oil and onions, and cook until tender, about 3 more minutes.
Add chicken broth and bring to boil, scraping bottom of pot to loosen any browned bits. Cover and reduce heat to med-low, simmer for about 1 hour.
Peel and cut sweet potato into 1.5" cubes. Add to pot along with remaining 1/2 t. each cumin and chili powder. Simmer until very tender, about 30-45 minutes.
Add peas and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, an additional 10-15 minutes until sauce thickens.
Remove from heat and add cilantro and lime juice, stirring to incorporate.
Serves 4-6.
This is a very hearty and flavorful stew, without using wine for flavor, nor beer for body, both of which it very easily could have. I will make this again.
