Jerk Pork Stew

Blogging take two. I clearly failed at my last attempt, but let's give this another try.

Lately, I have been missing being able to use my crock pot on the weekends, so I have started finding slow cooker recipes that I can bastardize and make into SIBO-friendly ones. Yesterday, I made a jerk pork stew that was quite delicious. Husband gave it 4.5 out of 5 ... he wasn't sure what could have made it any better though.

Here is my bastardized version of the original recipe that I found in an old crockpot cookbook - the original recipe was actually called Jerk Pork and Sweet Potato Stew. Oh, carby goodness, we will meet again some day; but until then ...

Jerk Pork Stew
2 Tbsp almond flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1.5 lbs pork shoulder stew meat
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium oninon, chopped
12 oz frozen green beans, cut
5 large carrots
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 medium jalepeno pepper, cored, seeded, and minced
1/8 tsp ground allspice
1/4 cup minced green onions, divided
1 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp lime juice

  • Combine flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and pork in bowl. Mix until pork is well coated.
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add pork and brown on both sides. (About 5 mins)
  • Transfer to crock pot
  • Add onion through allspice, and add 2 Tbsp on the green onions and the broth
  • Stir, cover, and cook on low for 6 hours
  • Stir in lime juice and remaining 2 Tbsp green onions
  • Serve and enjoy
*I served Husband's over some steamed white rice, which the original recipe suggested.
