Originally from the looneyspoons cookbook, this is low fat! This is a great recipe for using up the leftovers after we have grilled a large pork loin - if you also have pork that is already cooked, just add it to the dish in step #2. This freezes very well! Just microwave and add a salad and/or bread for a quick meal

Steps


Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add pork cubes and cook until browned , about 8-10 minutes.
Add mushrooms , onions , garlic and celery.
Cook and stir until vegetables are tender , about five minutes.
Stir in tomatoes , tomato paste , cumin , ginger root , oregano , salt , pepper and crushed red pepper flakes.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low.
Cover and simmer for 45 minutes , stirring occasionally.
Stir in sweet potatoes and okra or zucchini.
Cover and simmer another 30-35 minutes , until pork and potatoes are very tender.
Stir in coriander during last five minutes of cooking time.
Remove from heat and serve.
