- I've had a package of pork stew meat taking up residence in my fridge the last few days and figured I better make a use for it. I googled several pork stews and finally adapted a couple to our allergies. The dinner table was quiet and no one complained. Score! That being said, I better write it down before I forget what I did...
- Pork and Tomatilla Stew
- 2 T olive oil
- about 2 lbs boneless pork loin, cut into 3-inch chunks or the equivalent of boneless pork chops, etc
- Salt and pepper to taste (I'd start with about 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper)
- 2 leeks, cleaned and diced
- 1 large red onion, finely diced
- 2 Anaheim chiles, seeded and finely diced (for more heat add a jalapeño or 2 - this is very mild)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tps chile powder
- 2 T ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 3 bay leaves
- 3 cups chicken or veggie stock
- 2 cup finely diced carrots
- 5 average sized russet potatoes, washed and diced
- 1.5 pounds tomatillos—husked, rinsed and diced
- In a large pot or pan, heat the oil. Season the pork with salt and pepper and cook over high heat until browned . Add the leek, onion, chiles, garlic, chile powder, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring frequently, until veggies are tender. Move to crock pot and add remaining ingredients. Cook on high 3-4 hours. Serve with shredded cheese (or some of us used crumbled goat cheese), diced tomatoes and avocados, sour cream and corn chips or tortillas.
