Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 lb boneless pork loin , cut into 1-inch pieces
essence , recipe follows
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
1/4 cup chopped celery
salt and black pepper
2 tbsp flour
1 lb purple sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups veal stock
1/4 cup chopped green onions

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, toss the pork pieces with Essence. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork and brown evenly. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside. In a mixing bowl, season the onions, peppers, and celery with salt and pepper. Stir the flour into the oil, stirring constantly for about 4 to 5 minutes, for a medium brown roux. Add the onions, peppers, and celery to the roux and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly wilted. Return the pork to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and broth. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 40-45 minutes. Stir in the green onions and check seasonings. Make nests with shredded sweet potato and fry until crispy. Season with Essence. Spoon the stew into a shallow bowl and garnish sweet potato nests, green onions, and peppers.
