Savory Pork and Sweet Potato Stew

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Pork and Sweet Potato Stew.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a large casserole dish or Dutch oven and give it a light spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together some Dijon mustard, creating a tangy base for your pork.

4. Step 4

   In another bowl, combine brown sugar and all-purpose flour, blending them well.

5. Step 5

   Now, take your pork cubes and coat them generously with the Dijon mustard, ensuring each piece is covered.

6. Step 6

   Next, toss the mustard-coated pork in the brown sugar-flour mixture until they’re beautifully coated and ready to shine.

7. Step 7

   Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

8. Step 8

   Once the oil is shimmering, add the coated pork cubes and let them sizzle away, cooking for about three minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and delicious.

9. Step 9

   Once browned, transfer the pork to your prepared casserole dish, leaving the flavorful oil behind in the skillet.

10. Step 10

    In that same skillet, add chopped onions and minced garlic, stirring frequently until the onions become soft and fragrant, which should take about five minutes.

11. Step 11

    Then, pour in the chicken broth and dry sherry, followed by sweet potato cubes, a sprinkle of black pepper, and a dash of rosemary, thyme, and salt.

12. Step 12

    Bring this delightful mixture to a gentle boil, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

13. Step 13

    Now, pour the sweet potato mixture over the browned pork in the casserole dish, ensuring everything is well combined.

14. Step 14

    Cover the dish with a lid or some aluminum foil to keep all those wonderful flavors locked in.

15. Step 15

    Place it in your preheated oven and let it bake for 50 minutes.

16. Step 16

    After that, remove the cover and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and no longer pink, and the sweet potato cubes are tender and inviting.

17. Step 17

    As the aroma fills your kitchen, you’ll know you’re in for a treat.

18. Step 18

    Enjoy this hearty dish that’s perfect for family gatherings or a cozy night in!.
