Ingredients

1 ½ pounds pork shoulder or pork steaks diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion
½ teaspoon rosemary
½ teaspoon oregano
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup potatoes peeled and diced
1 cup sweet potatoes peeled and diced

Directions

In a large pot or dutch oven, brown pork with onions in 1 tablespoon olive oil (it doesn’t have to be cooked through). Remove from pot and set aside.

Add broth, tomatoes, and spices making sure to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the pork back into the pot and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 1 hour (or until pork is fairly tender).

Add potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Remove lid and stir in green beans. Thicken if desired (below) and simmer an additional 10 minutes uncovered.
