Country Pork Stew

Serves 4 generous portions

Ingredients:

1 tsp olive oil

1-1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1” cubes

1 cup chopped onion

4 cloves of garlic, pressed or equivalent from a jar

1 tsp. Dried sage

Black Pepper, to taste

½ cup dry white wine (or ½ cup white grape juice combined with 1 T. cider vinegar)

1-3/4 cups low sodium chicken broth

2 T. tomato paste

¼ tsp. Ground allspice

Note: While these directions are given for an electric skillet, you can use a Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid. An electric skillet gives very even heat, and has a useful simmer setting, but not everyone has one.

Heat the olive oil in the electric skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork cubes and onion, sautéing until brown, about 4 minutes. Add remaining ingredients in the order given, stirring a moment before adding the next. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover, and walk away for one hour. It’s done when the pork is fork tender.
