A good way to use up any kind of homemade or storebought salsa. This one was made using some salsa quemada from the farmers market that wasn't going to keep that long in the fridge.

Works great with chicken thigh meat, too.

I like to serve over steamed rice or with crusty bread.

Steps

1

Sear the pork in 1 Tablespoon of oil in a preheated medium high heat pot for about 2 minutes per side.
2

Add in your onions, garlic, bell pepper, and tomato, and saute for 2 or 3 minutes until the onions begin to turn translucent.
3

Add in the 1 cup stock, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and salsa and stir thoroughly to distribute ingredients and seasonings evenly.
4

Still on medium high heat, bring the stew to a boil, and once up to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, covered (but with about a 1/2" inch opening on the side), for 20 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times during the process to redistribute everything.
5

Uncover the pot and simmer another 15 to 20 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times, and adjusting the salt in the seasoning when you have 10 minutes left to go.

Enjoy! :)
