This is a recipe from Healthy Heart Cookbook from the American Medical Association. I made it today and it's really good and filling. / In this tangy stew, black beans and lean pork tenderloin are simmered with tomatoes, garlic, and a hint of molasses. Serve with corn bread. You can substitute 1 cup dried beans for the canned beans (soak at least 10 hours, then simmer in water at least 1 hour until the beans are cooked)
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, finely chopped or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 large tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon dark molasses
1 cup fat-free no-salt-added chicken broth
1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed of visible fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
3 cups canned black beans, rinsed and drained (about 2 cans, each 15 oz)
1/2 teaspoon salt (didn't use)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, cumin, and allspice and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomato and molasses and simmer until the flavors are blended, about 3 minutes. Carefully add the broth and bring to a boil.
2. Add the pork and black beans and simmer until the pork is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with the cilantro, and serve immediately.
