Cut up pork tenderloin into bite sized pieces. In a skillet, heat olive oil and then toss in pork pieces. Cook until almost done. Remove from pan, save drippings in the pan. Add sweet potatoes, green peppers, onion & garlic to pan. Stir fry veggies until they start to become tender. Stir in cumin and cinnamon. Add broth - bring to a boil. Add the pork, corn and salsa. Allow stew to simmer for 30-45 minutes or until potatoes are very soft. Makes at least 8 - 1 cup servings. I usually make a double batch of this and freeze half for another week.
