Pork Stew with Vegetables. Boneless pork loin cut into bite sized pieces, sautéed with garlic, mixed vegetables, and herbs, and simmered in crushed tomatoes.
Growing up in an Italian household anytime my mom made stew it was with red sauce. I didn’t even know stew was more commonly made with brown gravy until I saw it at a restaurant.
This is the second version of our pork stew recipe. The first version included potatoes, carrots, and marinara sauce. In this version of the recipe we are changing things a bit by using a bag of frozen vegetables, and a can of crushed tomatoes instead of marinara sauce.

As I have mentioned in another one of our pork stew posts, I prefer red sauce with my stews. If you have never tried this I highly recommend it, especially if you like tomatoes. If the idea of a stew with red sauce is not appealing or goes against your idea of a stew, this recipe can be made with a brown gravy.
To simplify the recipe and the prep time I used a bag of frozen mixed vegetables to bring this recipe together. In my pork stews I have also used peas, potatoes, okra, beans (any variety), broccoli, cauliflower, and the list really goes on. I would encourage you to try this recipe as is, then make it again with any combination of vegetables you prefer.
