Pork + Poblano Stew
Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Whew. This week has been a dooooozy! This week’s insanity and today’s freezing temps call for a warm and tasty bowl of stew!

Let me catch you up. The kids were home for Winter Break, I SNEEZED AND HURT MY BACK, and then I had a reaction to my allergy shots yesterday. It’s always fun to have a productive day planned, and have those plans interrupted by 2 shots of epinephrine. On top of all that, it’s been raining in Atlanta for basically the entire month of February and I. AM. OVER. IT. But today the sun is out! It’s cold, but I can see blue skies and I’m coming back to life. I don’t know how you people in the PNW do it, but I also feel like I understand grunge music a little better now.

So pull out your pressure cookers and get this one in your belly! It is warm, spicy, and so filling! I used boneless pork chops, but you can use whatever cut of pork you like slash whatever is on sale. OR chicken. OR add more beans/hominy/vegetable broth to make it vegetarian. Need it to be gluten-free? Skip the flour. I love how soups and stews can be switched up to meet any dietary need!

Once you’ve stewed your stew, top it with some tasty toppings. I like mine with avocado, feta and some crunchy radish. But use what you like and whatever you have! You seriously can’t go wrong with this one!
