Southwestern Pork Stew

Pork, yams, and corn make this an eye-appealing, easy one dish meal that will be requested often.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 3/4 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped red onion
2 cups fat-free chicken broth, more if needed to thin stew
1 (10-ounce) can chopped tomatoes and green chiles
1 1/4 pounds sweet potatoes (yams)*, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
1 (16-ounce) package frozen corn

Cooking Directions:

1. Season pork with salt and pepper and toss with flour to coat.
2. In a large pot coated with nonstick cooking spray, brown pork over medium heat about 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Add onions and cook until tender.
4. Add broth, tomatoes and green chiles, sweet potatoes*, chili powder, cumin, diced green chiles and corn. Bring mixture to a boil, lower heat and simmer until potatoes are tender and pork is done, approximately 45 minutes. If stew gets too thick, add more chicken broth. Season to taste.

Makes 8 servings.

*Can substitute with 1 (29-ounce) can yams. If using canned yams, cut in small chunks and stir in at the end of cooking.
