Easy, Spiced Pork Stew - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs lean trimmed pork, cut into 1 inch cubes (dusted with flour, if you like)
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves (or more, if you like)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage or 1 tablespoon dried sage
pepper, to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 3/4 cups unsalted chicken stock
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 -2 canned chipotle chile, chopped (wear rubber gloves)
1 -2 tablespoon adobo sauce, from chipotles (personally, I use about 5 - 7, but we like our food very spicy)
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice (optional)

Preparation

Heat about 1 teaspoon olive oil in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add pork and stir until brown, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Do not crowd meat. If you need to brown the pork in batches, you may need to add additional olive oil before adding extra meat to the pan, to prevent burning.
Transfer pork to bowl.
Add onion, garlic and sage to pot and sauti1/2 until onion is tender, about 10 minutes.
Return pork and any juices to pot.
Season with pepper and add rest of ingredients.
Simmer over medium heat until pork is tender, about 1 hour.
Serve with bread for soaking up sauce, or serve over rice or noodles.
