8 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
2 pounds Pork butt; cut into 2\" cubes
1 small Onion; finely diced
5 cups Chicken stock OR low-sodium chicken broth
¾ cup Dried Lima beans
1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
½ teaspoon Salt; or to taste
1 cup Corn kernels
3 mediums Red peppers; seeded & diced
½ cup Plain yogurt
½ teaspoon Salt; or to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

PREHEAT OVEN TO 325F. In a Dutch oven or heavy 3-quart pot, heat the oil over high heat on top of the stove, add the pork in batches and brown very well. Do not crowd or the meat will not brown. Remove and reserve the meat on a plate as it is browned. Discard the fat in the pot. Lower flame, add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes to dissolve the browned bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pot.

Return the meat to the pot, add the stock, beans and caraway. Cover and place in oven for 1½ hours or until pork is tender and the beans are cooked. Transfer pot to the top of the stove. Add salt, corn and peppers. Cook, uncovered, over high heat for 5 minutes to thicken the liquid in the pot. Stir constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the yogurt. Add the salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
