Ingredients
-
2 1/2 lbs pork cutlets, cut into 1 inch cubes
-
1/4 cup flour
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1/4 teaspoon seasoned pepper (I use Jane's Crazy Mixed-Up Pepper)
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon ground sage
-
3 tablespoons oil
-
3 tablespoons vinegar (white or cider)
-
2 cans whole baby potatoes (not sure of exact weight, I usually end up using one large can of them)
-
2 cups tomatillo salsa (I either make my own, or I use La Victoria Green Chile enchilada sauce)
-
2 (3 1/2 ounce) cans diced green chilies
-
1 (15 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
-
1 teaspoon brown sugar or 1 teaspoon honey
-
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Mix flour, cumin, pepper, salt, and sage in a gallon-size zipper bag.
- Add meat cubes and shake to coat thoroughly.
- Heat oil in a large skillet.
- Brown pork in batches (meat will be crispier that way); remove from skillet when browned and place in the crock of a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
- With the heat still on, add the vinegar to the skillet and quickly scrape up the browned bits left in the pan (the vinegar will reduce quite rapidly).
- Add the vinegar reduction to the meat in the crock.
- Add onions, potatoes, salsa, broth, and brown sugar to the crock and stir well.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours (or high for 4-5 hours, if you can't wait that long).
- If you would like the stew to be a bit thicker, mash a few of the potatoes.
- Serve with slabs of warm cornbread (such as my recipe for Mexican Cornbread).
