This stew features pork loin, diced tomatoes, and black beans, with bell peppers, onions, and garlic as the aromatics. It all comes together in one large saucepan and takes just 40 minutes to make. Not only is this recipe delicious, it's also very versatile. Feel free to experiment with whatever you can find in the pantry or fridge; try cubed turkey instead of pork, red kidney beans or garbanzo beans for the black beans, or tarragon and dill for the cilantro. And to add more flavor and a bit of spice, you can use 4 poblano chiles instead of the bell peppers.
