Main Ingredient Pork Tenderloin
Other Ingredient Potatoes and Onions
Number of People 4
List of Ingredients 4 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 lb. pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes

1 medium onion, halved and sliced

1 poblano pepper, diced (may add one more for spicier)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium russet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

14 oz. reduced-sodium chicken broth

1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. dried oregano

1/2 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. cayenne (optional)

1 T. lime juice
Description Heat 2 tsp. oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.  Add pork; cook, stirring until no longer pink on the outside, about 4 minutes.  Transfer with any juice to a bowl.



Add the remaining 2 tsp. oil, onion and poblano to the pan.  Cook, stirring until softened, about 3 minutes.  Add garlic and cook one minute more.  Add potatoes, broth, cumin, oregano, salt and cayenne (if using); bring to a simmer over medium heat.  Reduce heat to maintain a low simmer and cook, partially covered and stirring occasionally, until the potato is tender, about 10 minutes.  Return the pork and any juice to the pan and cook, partially covered, until the pork is cooked through and the potatoes are fall-apart tender, about 5 minutes more.  Stir in lime juice before serving.
