Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork shoulder (boneless, cubed)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1.5 cups frozen lima beans
- 1.5 cups frozen corn kernels
- 2 medium russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork shoulder cubes with salt and black pepper.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork in batches, searing on all sides until golden brown. Remove the pork and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and tomato paste, stirring to combine.
Return the seared pork to the pot. Add the lima beans, corn kernels, and diced potatoes. Stir well.
Season the stew with Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir to incorporate all the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 75-90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
