Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
4 boneless pork chops
-
5 calabaza squash, halved and sliced 1/2-inch thick
-
1 cup whole kernel corn, drained
-
½ cup chopped onion
-
½ cup chopped tomatoes
-
2 teaspoons minced garlic
-
1 (6 ounce) can tomato sauce
-
½ teaspoon ground cumin
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
-
2 cups chicken stock, or more as needed
Directions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pork chops; cook until no longer pink in center, about 4 minutes per side. Cool until easy to handle, about 5 minutes; cut into bite-sized cubes.
-
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same saucepan. Add cubed pork, calabaza squash, corn, onion, tomatoes, and garlic; cook until onion translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; stir in chicken stock and simmer, covered, until flavors combined, about 2 hours, stirring and checking periodically to see if more stock needed.
Editor's Note:
Calabaza is a squash popular in Central and South America. Pumpkin may be substituted for the calabaza.
