  3. Preheat pan over medium heat. When several drops of water sprinkled on pan skitter and dissipate, approximately 5 - 7 minutes, add seasoned pork and brown pieces on all sides, approximately 6 - 8 minutes.
  4. Add onions and garlic. Stir to combine and sauté until brown.
  5. Add green chili peppers, fire-roasted tomatoes, chicken stock and corn. Stir to combine and cover.
  6. When Vapo-Valve™ clicks steadily, reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes until pork is cooked through and tender.
  7. Serve stew with a variety of toppings and warm corn tortillas to dip or add into stew.
