Southwest pork and vegetable stew
This was awesome! The only thing I did different was let the pork stew for about an hour before adding the hominy and corn. It was by far one of my favorites. I will definately make this one again.

Southwestern Pork and Vegetable Stew
I doubled the recipe and good thing because it was so yummy most of it was gobbled up and I have enough for today's lunch. You could smell the wonderful aroma while walking up to the front door. Great recipe to have simmering on the stove top when showing off your house that is up for sale.

All Thumbs Up
Have to give this a five. The family gave me the thumbs up to add it to my repertoire. It's got a great flavor, is hearty and healthy, and quite easy. Brought some in to work and got raves here as well. Serve with a salad and a loaf of good bread! And don't forget the cilantro.

Nice Dish
I could not find canned hominy, so I substituted grits to give more volume and make the sauce more interesting. This was the first dish I ever made with pork, and it was great! Next time I would put less meat and though and maybe more peppers, corn, and spices. Overall, a good dish, and a nice way to shake up my usual meals!

Wow!
My husband and I loved this colorful stew! It was really easy and it made the house smell DELICIOUS. My husband is a giant fan of fresh cilantro and it did compliment the many flavors. After a long day of work, this was a nice, satisfying finish to the day. Plus we have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! :)

Yummy!
Tired of Chicken? This recipe was amazing. I followed to a T. Don't bother altering it, the flavour is perfect as is. I loved it, and my "only chicken, please" husband loved it too. Oh yeah, and it was super easy.

Southwest Stew
I told my husband we were going to start eating healthier dinners and he was iffy about that. But the stew came out really flavorful and everyone liked it.

Southwestern Pork and Vegetable Stew
This is absolutely delicious. I made it with less chili powder (1 tsp.) and added lots of fresh cilantro. Great recipe!
