Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork shoulder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 Carrots, peeled and sliced
• 3 Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) Diced tomatoes
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 Bay leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes, trimming excess fat as needed.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork cubes in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned pork to the crock pot.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add them to the crock pot.

Step 4

Add the carrots, potatoes, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and chicken broth to the crock pot.

Step 5

Sprinkle the cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper over the ingredients in the crock pot. Add the bay leaves.

Step 6

Stir everything gently to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or high heat for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.

Step 8

Once cooking is complete, remove the bay leaves and taste the stew, adjusting seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
