Pork Stew With Sweet Potatoes

As the short, chilly days of winter tick by, cravings for hearty warm stews begin to dominate my thoughts.  A big pot of this pork and sweet potato stew fits the bill.  It is more broth based than a lot of stews, but I enjoy how the sweet potato breaks down and thickens it as it’s eaten.

The peppers, caramelized onions, and red wine vinegar help keep the flavor fresh and your palate craving the next spoonful.
