Recipe of the Day - White Bean and Pork Stew

 

This is a yummy recipe that our next door neighbor, Lois, shared with us.  I have made it several times and have really enjoyed it!  I make a lot of chicken and beef soups, chilies and stews so it's nice to find a good one made with pork.

White Bean and Pork Stew

Olive Oil

2lbs ground pork

1 med. onion chopped

1 poblano chile - seeded and chopped*

3 cloves of garlic, minced

2 (4.5 oz) cans of green chilies, undrained

1 Tbsp cumin

1 Tbsp Kosher salt

2 (15.5 oz) cans white beans

3&1/3 cups chicken broth

6 oz shredded Monterey Jack cheese

2 Tbsp fresh lime juice

Brown pork in oil.  Drain and set aside.

Saute' onion, poblano, garlic, green chilies, cumin and salt.  Cook until vegetables are tender.

Increase heat to high and stir in beans, broth and pork.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to med-low, simmer for 40 minutes.

Add cheese and lime juice.  Stir until cheese is melted.  Serve.

*if you can't find a poblano, any mild red pepper will do.

Enjoy!
