This was a slow cooker recipe, which I love because I can make it the night ahead and put it on before work the next morning. As those of you with slow cookers can likely attest to, you come home and not only have a ready-to-eat meal, but the house smells amazing.... It's like magic!
Cuban Pork and Sweet Potato Stew
1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 lb lean pork, cut enough for other ingredients to cover (you can always shred it after it's cooked)
14 oz diced tomatoes with green chiles
3 cloves minced garlic
1/4 C orange juice
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp black pepper
Crushed red pepper, to taste
Juice of 1 lime
2 T chopped cilantro (or much more if you love it like I do)
Mix everything in slow cooker, except for lime juice and cilantro. Cover and cook on Low for 7 or more hours.Then, stir in lime juice and cilantro. Cook for 5 minutes more.
Eat with loads of buttered bread. Mmmmmm.
