Thursday’s Quarter Recipe—-Orange

This weeks recipe theme is ORANGE. I thought of all the many pumpkin, squash recipes I could have shared but I decided to try something new. This year, much to my families delight, I filled our freezer with a whole pig. I know it’s strange. One week I post raw recipes and the next I am talking about our freezer full of pork! Food is like that around here. My husband and kids are not ordering off of my side of the menu! So I cook for them and I prepare something different for myself most meals.

This week I put to use some of the pork in the freezer by making a pork, sweet potato stew. I thought it was excellent. But I guess my families love of sweet potatoes is not as great as mine. I thought this tasted a bit like a curry .

.5 lbs of pork loin or shoulder, cubed

.5 lbs of sweet potatoes , cubed

10.5 oz tomatoes

2 cloves garlic

1 onion

2 Tablespoons peanut butter

2 teaspoons chili flakes (or less)

1 Tablespoons paprika

salt to taste

2 Tablspoons cilantro

10 oz hot water

Fry the pork garlic and onion in a little oil. Add sweet potatoes spices, tomatoes and water. Simmer for 20 mins or until sweet potatoes are cooked.

Stir in peanut butter-heat 5 minutes

Serve over rice.

I probably quadrupled this recipe-my piece of pork was about 2.4 lbs-so really I tried to keep the amount of meat and potatoes the same and the tomatoes and water the same and increased the rest. I thought this was really tasty and orange!

I got the recipe from here.

So do you want to play along this week? Well the Mr Linky I used last week doesn’t seem to be working this week-so just leave a link to your post containing your Thursday’s Orange Quarter Recipe in the comments.

Thanks-Happy Thursday
