    Tim's Crock Pot Latin Pork Stew

    Slow cook crock pot pork stew with lots of vegetables. Cooks a large batch that can then be split up and frozen. I make this because my wife doesn't eat pork and this makes it easy to cook two separate meals. The recipe is pretty loose, and I add apple, peppers, and pear for some natural sweetness. Maybe next time I'll add some cinnamon.

    5 lbs. pork stew meat in 1 inch cubes
    10 oz. frozen corn (canned OK too)
    2.5 lbs. yams
    28 oz. diced canned tomatoes (fresh probably better)
    3 tbsp chili powder
    1 lb fresh green beans
    2 tsp ground coriander
    8 oz. baby bella mushrooms
    7 garlic cloves
    2 chipotle peppers
    1 apple peeled
    1 pear peeled
    1 pint of cherry tomatoes
    1 large red pepper
    1 cup chopped fresh carrots
    1 jar medium salsa
    5 medium yellow onions
    12 oz. beer (I used an oatmeal stout, wine is OK too)
    1 cup water

    Chop onions, garlic, mushrooms, and peeled yams, and toss into a crock pot with pork stew meat and other veggies. Combine canned diced tomatoes and spices in large bowl and then mix in. Add water and beer and then cook on low heat for 7- 8 hours. Add diced apple and pear, cherry tomatoes, carrots, diced red pepper, chipotle peppers, and salsa when mixture boils down enough to have room. Cook on low heat for another 1-2 hours (i.e., 8-10 hours total). Season to taste (I like to add bajan hot sauce).

    I've been making crockpot quinoa for breakfast, which has been really nice to eat (when I remember!). I make it a ~3-3 1/2 cup crock pot.

    Basically,

    2 1/2 c. milk or broth
    1/2 c. quinoa

    It makes ~2-3 servings.

    Onto this, you just add whatever you like. I've made it with frozen blueberries and walnuts, jalapenos and mushrooms, turnip greens... You could also just add spices and herbs. I've added 2 tbl chia seeds too. If you want to add a lot of fruit or veggies, just reduce the quinoa a bit. If you want to add flax or chia seeds (which I recommend! it helps the texture feel more like oatmeal), just make sure to increase the liquid to compensate.

    Here is one from Skinnytaste.com. She has alot of good recipes. We really liked it. I had some left over and I drained the sauce from it and layered the filling over some corn tortillas with some green and red enchilada sauce and lowfat cheese. It was great!

    To the crockpot, add drained beans, diced tomatoes, corn, cumin, oregano and stir. Add the chicken breasts; cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours.

    Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Add chicken back into the soup, adjust salt and cumin to taste. Serve in bowls and top with fat free sour cream, cheese, scallions and cilantro. You can also top with avocado or crushed tortilla chips. Enjoy!

    got this recipe in my dinner swap group and its very tasty..

    This one is easy and I've served it to others several times and everyone really likes it

    Lentil Soup (serves 8)
    Throw all of this stuff in the crock pot in the morning. Turn it on low for 8+ hours (sometimes I do more than 8 hours and it’s always been fine)
    3 Raw Carrots Chopped
    3 Stalks of Celery - Chopped
    1 Onion - Chopped
    2 Cloves of Garlic - Diced
    2 C lentils (rinsed) (I've used whatever the cheapest bulk lentils I could find at Sprouts)
    64oz of Vegetable broth
    1 can of diced tomatoes (I prefer the Rotel with Habanero so that it has some spice, I didn’t think the jalapeno ones had enough spice but I may be crazy) OPTIONAL
    3 Russet potatoes (small or medium) – OPTIONAL (I often add these for bulk)

    About 15 minutes before serving add:
    1.5 Tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar
    2 cups Kale (or other green like Spinach or Collard Greens)
    Salt & pepper to taste (the recipe I had told me to add it to the crockpot in the beginning and gave me a measurement. I don't tend to add any at all, but if I feel as if it's needed, I just add a little per serving)


    Fixed this over the weekend. YUM!

    Will replace the lentils with a small amount of ground beef (1/2 - 3/4 #) next time and then add some cooked rice. The rest of the recipe I'll leave the same but will give me another great recipe that is still easy and yummy! :)
