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.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs lean trimmed pork, cut into 1 inch cubes (dusted with flour, if you like)
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves (or more, if you like)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 1 tablespoon dried sage
pepper, to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 3/4 cups unsalted chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 -2 canned chipotle chile, chopped (wear rubber gloves)
1 -2 tablespoon adobo sauce, from chipotles (personally, I use about 5 - 7, but we like our food very spicy)
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat about 1 teaspoon olive oil in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Add pork and stir until brown, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Do not crowd meat. If you need to brown the pork in batches, you may need to add additional olive oil before adding extra meat to the pan, to prevent burning.
  • Transfer pork to bowl.
  • Add onion, garlic and sage to pot and saut� until onion is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Return pork and any juices to pot.
  • Season with pepper and add rest of ingredients.
  • Simmer over medium heat until pork is tender, about 1 hour.
  • Serve with bread for soaking up sauce, or serve over rice or noodles.
