Slow Cooker Pork Stew

Just set it all up in a few minutes and come home to meltingly tender pork and flavourful vegetables in a satisfying one pot meal.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 lb pork shoulder, cubed

1 tbsp flour

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 onion, quartered

3 tsps minced garlic

2 carrots, diced

5 or 6 mushrooms, halved

1 lb potatoes, cubed

1/2 cup edamame (or peas)

2 cups beef broth

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 bay leaf

salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp celery seed

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 tbsp cold water

Toss pork cubes with flour and place in the bottom of the crock pot. Top with the vegetables (except the edamame). Pour in the broth, tomato paste and add the seasonings. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. In the last 30 minutes make a slurry with the cornstarch and cold water and add to the stew along with the edamame. Remove the bay leaf and serve. Serves 3-4
