  • 3 - 4 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 3 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 2 - 3 stalks celery, chopped

  • 2 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 14 ounce can chicken broth

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-1/4-inch cubes

Directions

  1. Sprinkle pork lightly with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place flour in a large bowl; add pork and toss to coat.

Remove pork from pan.

Slowly stir in broth, juice, and 1 cup water. Return pork to pan; add sweet potatoes and sage. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook 20 to 25 minutes more until potatoes and pork are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
