How to Make Cuban Pork And Sweet Potato Stew
- In your slow cooker, combine 1 lb lean pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes), 2 large sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes, 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes & green chilies (or use 2 cans of diced tomatoes for less heat), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 4 cloves garlic (minced), ½ cup orange juice, ¼ cup chopped green onions, ¼ cup chopped red onion, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, or until the pork is easily shredded and the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks.
- Stir the shredded pork back into the stew along with 2 tablespoons lime juice, ¼ cup chopped cilantro, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
- Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve hot and enjoy! Garnish with extra cilantro and a lime wedge, if desired.
