It’s winter. It’s cold. You want something hearty. But you’re also trying to eat better and don’t want to ruin your diet by diving into a cream-laden casserole.
A lean stew is just the thing you need. Instead of being heavy, it’s hearty with virtuous veggies, lean protein and warm seasonings. We start with a pork tenderloin, sear it for maximum flavor, then simmer it in a flavorful broth. Once the pork is tender, we shred it for a pulled pork effect, then add in filling and nutritious vegetables.
Sweet potatoes load on the fiber and vitamin A, while cabbage packs yet more fiber, as well as vitamins. By the time you throw in the leeks, onion and celery, you’ve got a super healthful and satisfying stew. To top the whole thing off, we add a dollop of calcium-rich yogurt topping inspired by thousand island dressing to add a little touch of tangy creaminess.
