Easy to make, flavorful, and incredibly versatile, this curry can be combined with different vegetables to make a variety of nutritious and exotic dishes.
Ingredients
  • 2 lb pork loin or pork loin roast (see notes) , cut in ½ inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh garlic (about 4-6 cloves)
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • ¼ tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 14.5 oz can stewed tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups green chiles (medium hot or combination medium and hot)
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • optional: 3 cups winter squash (peeled and diced into ½ inch pieces) or cauliflower (broken into very small pieces)
  • 1 recipe Cilantro Lime Rice
Instructions
  1. Brown pork in skillet with garlic and pepper.
  2. In crock pot, mix pork, tomatoes, coconut milk, and onion.
  3. Puree green chiles lightly in blender with the chicken broth. You may want to just pulse briefly a few times to get a slightly chunky consistency. Add to pork mixture in crock pot.
  4. Stir in curry powder and cook on low for 2 hours.
  5. Optional: With a half hour remaining, add 3 cups of a vegetable of your choice cut into small pieces (1/2 inch or so). I've used cauliflower and acorn squash. If using potatoes or sweet potatoes, allow at least 1:30 of remaining cooking time.
Notes
I used a Kirkland Swift Premium Pork Sirloin Tip Roast; I often use these - they are almost exactly 2 lbs, 98% fat-free, high quality and very convenient.
