This takes a bit of time but ends up in a rich stew-like taste, great for winter meals.

1# boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), trimmed

Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan, and saute for 8 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Add

3.5C fat-free low sodium chicken broth
6 garlic cloves, crushed

Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes or until pork is fork-tender. Remove pork from pan, reserving cooking liquid and garlic. Cool pork slightly; shred with two forks.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to pan, and swirl to coat. Add

4C cubed (1/2") peeled sweet potato (about 1 pound)
1 C chopped onion

and saute for 6 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Add

1/4t ground red pepper
8oz cremini mushrooms, quartered
