Step 1

In a large pot or dutch oven, brown pork with onions in 1 tablespoon olive oil (it doesn't have to be cooked through). Remove from pot and set aside.

Step 2

Add broth, tomatoes, and spices to pot with pork mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 1 hour (or until pork is fairly tender).

Step 3

Add potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Remove lid and stir in green beans. Thicken if desired (below) and simmer an additional 10 minutes uncovered.
