    Stew:  
    1/2 cup (2 ounces)  King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons  salt
    1 1/2 teaspoons  ground black pepper
    1 tablespoon  ground cumin
    3 pounds  boneless pork, beef or chicken (fat removed, cut into 1" cubes)*
    1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces)  vegetable oil
    1 1/2 cups (7 1/2 ounces)  diced onions
    1 1/2 cups (6 ounces)  coarsely chopped red peppers
    1 1/2 cups (6 ounces)  coarsely chopped green peppers
    1 1/2 cups (8 ounces)  cleaned, diced tomatillos, (or 3/4 cup salsa verde)
    2 cans (15 ounces each)  chicken broth
    2 cans (15 ounces each)  diced tomatoes, (undrained)
    1 tablespoon  diced jalapeño pepper
    3 cloves  garlic, minced
      cilantro, for garnish
      
    Lime Cilantro Cream:  
    1 cup (8 ounces)  sour cream
    2 tablespoons  chopped fresh cilantro
    2 teaspoons  grated lime zest or 1/4 teaspoon lime oil
    1 tablespoon  fresh lime juice
    1/2 teaspoon  chili seasoning or ground cumin
      salt and pepper to taste
To make the stew: Mix the flour, salt, pepper, and cumin in a shallow dish. Dredge the meat cubes in the seasoned flour. Heat some of the oil in a heavy frying pan. Brown a few pieces of meat at a time; if you crowd the pan, the meat won’t brown well. Remove the meat when brown, and place in large stew pot or slow cooker. Brown the onions and peppers, using additional oil as needed. Place the vegetables into the stew pot or slow cooker, along with the tomatillos, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and remaining seasonings. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 1 to 2 hours, until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened. Season the stew to taste. To make the cream: Stir together the sour cream and remaining ingredients; cover and chill for several hours. Serve the stew over rice or in flour tortillas, topped with lime cilantro sauce or shredded cheese. Serve black bean and pineapple salsa (below) on the side. Yield: 10 to 12 servings. Black Bean and Pineapple Salsa
    1 can (15 ounces)  black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 cup (10 ounces)  fresh diced pineapple
    1/2 teaspoon  chili seasoning or ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon  salt

Toss all of the ingredients together, and refrigerate until needed.
Yield: about 3 cups.
