This is a wonderful hearty fall stew. Serve with a crisp apple cider!
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp high-heat oil like coconut
- 1-2 lbs boneless pork shoulder or pork loin, cut into 1″ cubes
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsps. ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced, plus 2 Tbsps adobo sauce (look for gluten free as some adobo sauces have wheat as an ingredient)
- salt/pepper, to taste
- 1 (12 oz) bottle beer
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 2 large sweet potatoes or yams, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch cubes
- Top with fresh cilantro and sour cream
Directions
- Heat oil in large heavy pot over medium-high heat
- Brown the pork and transfer to a bowl and set aside
- Reduce the heat and add onion and cook, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pot, until the onions are soft, about 10 minutes
- Add the garlic
- Add reserved pork, cumin, coriander, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, salt and pepper, stir to combine
- Pour in beer and chicken stock and bring to a boil
- Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for an hour, stirring occasionally
- After 1 hour, add sweet potatoes and simmer until pork is tender and potatoes are cooked through, ~30 minutes or so
- Serve with cilantro and sour cream (or omit sour cream and add avocado as a paleo option)
I think I might make this tonight!! Looks and sounds DELICIOUS!! 🙂

Yes absolutely! Might want to add the sweet potatoes later as they get mushy with a lot of cooking, but seems like this would be great in the slow cooker.
