I first had this meal in a small family owned Mexican restaurant in California. I am a fan of green sauces and when I ate the pork stew I knew that I needed to recreate this recipe. It’s fresh and healthy with great veggies and lean pork. Best of all it’s so simple -- 5 minutes of prep and an hour later you have dinner.
