Ingredients
To make the pork tenderloin stew, you’ll need the following ingredients: 2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 onion, diced; 3 cloves of garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth; 2 cups diced potatoes; 1 cup diced carrots; 1 cup diced celery; 1 cup frozen peas; 2 tablespoons tomato paste; and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
Instructions
Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork cubes and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pork cubes to the slow cooker. Add the onion, garlic, paprika, oregano, cumin, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, and peas to the slow cooker, and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender.
Once the pork is cooked through, stir in the tomato paste and parsley. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Serve hot, with crusty bread or a side of rice. Enjoy!
