The daugher was in the mood for something "stewish with meat" so heres a good, easy recipe for some pork! High protien, low fat! You'll get several days food outta this.
Pork butt (shoulder), 2' pieces (sometimes you can get "carnitas" that is already cut and usually a little cheaper, and you can cut off any fat chunks you want)
Onions, 2 med, diced large
Garlic, chopped, 1/2 cup (I love garlic so it might be to much for you)
Chicken broth, 3 cups (a bullion cube or two is fine) add more if it looks like it's getting dry
Jalapenos, chopped small 1.5 each
Kosher salt 1 Tablespoon
Pepper 1 Tablespoon
Cumin 1 Tablespoon
Cilantro, 1 bunch. Rough chop the leaves and save for later.
One bag frozen peepers mix
Tomato juice, small can
Diced tomatoes
Corn, 1 can
Blck beans, 1 can
Any beer of your choice....not for the recipe I just like to drink
ALL THIS ADDED WAS 1G FAT!
Method:Place, meat, onion, garlic, allspices into the pot Stir occasionally and bring down to med heat, to a good simmer. Put a top on it and let it go for 2 hrs (depends on how tender you want it) Make sure to stir every 15 minutes or so.
When the meat is soft and the sauce thickens add the cilantro, peppers, tom juice, corn, blk beans, Cook a few minutes breaking the meat up and there you go!
We topped it off with Non-Fat sour cream & a touch of cheese.
This can done in a crock pot to. Place in crock pot at night on high and the next days dinner will be ready when you get home.
