                       -----BASIC STEW-----
  1 1/2  pounds        Boneless pork shoulder
  1      cup           Stock
    3/4  cup           Onions -- chopped
    1/2  tablespoon    Garlic cloves -- crushed
                       -----THIS VARIATION-----
 16      ounces        Corn -- NOT thawed
 15      ounces        Black beans; canned -- drained
  4      ounces        Green chiles -- chopped
    1/2  teaspoon      Chili powder
    1/2  teaspoon      Oregano leaves
  8      ounces        Tomato sauce
  1      tablespoon    Flour

You may substitute lamb shoulder or beef chuck for the pork. Use beef
stock for beef, chicken stock for pork or lamb.
Basic stew: Trim meat of fat and cut into 1-1/2" chunks. Bring all
ingredients to boil in 4-qt pot, cover tightly, reduce heat, and simmer
2-1/2 hours, until meat is tender. Crockpot directions: pile all
ingredients into crockpot and cook all day on LOW. When done: skim off and
discard fat.
It takes less than 8 minutes to assemble this stew. Then you can pay it
little or no attention as it simmers for about 2-1/2  hours. Make
multiples of the basic stew, then divide stew into 4-serving  portions;
refrigerate or in airtight containers for up to 5 days, or  freeze for up
to 3 months. Thaw in microwave-safe container on defrost or  in
refrigerator for 24 hours.
To assemble: bring basic stew, vegetables, and herbs to boil in 3-qt pot
over medium-high heat.  Meanwhile, whisk tomato sauce with flour until
blended.  Stir into stew and simmer, uncovered, 5-7 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until gravy is slightly thickened.
This especially easy stew is also good made with beef. Because it's
prepared with pantry staples, it's perfect when you don't  have time to
shop or chop.
