When the temperature drops in January, what we really want is food that fills us up and nourishes at the same time. So start your day with a hearty smoothie, but finish it with a wholesome stew. This is one of a series of stews designed to make you feel good in every possible way. Brimming with veggies and spices, each of these wholesome stews will support and reward your best New Year’s intentions.
This stew is hearty because of the delicious bacon and pork, but it still feels prudent because of all the nutrient- and fiber-rich apples and sweet potatoes. It delivers the classic flavor combos we crave, but feels updated.
For another smart turn, consider sides other than potatoes, pasta, and white rice that can satisfy and soak up sauce, such as cauliflower “rice.” Many grocery stores now sell packages of riced cauliflower in the produce department, but you can make your own by pulsing fresh florets in the food processor until finely chopped.
