How to Make Moroccan Spiced Pork Stew
For this recipe, I cut the Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork into cubes. The smaller pieces help speed up the cooking time, work well with the other items in the stew, and allows everything to cook in the same time. Fresh pork is best when cooked to an internal temperature of 145F followed by a three-minute rest.
Once the pork is cubed, the recipe is as simple as adding ingredients to the slow cooker and setting it on low. I cook my stew for about six hours on low. You can stretch to 8 hours if you want, and it will still be delicious. Likewise, you can increase the temperature to high and shorten the cooking time to 4 hours.
The stew cooks away while you are at work, helping with homework or just enjoying your favorite tv show. We paired this with pearled couscous, and it is so good. You can easily serve it on its own though as it has so much flavor and makes a really hearty meal.
