Photo: Pork and Potatoes with Orange Juice and Cola Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup onion, cut in large dice
- 2 poblano chiles, seeded and cut into large dice
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into large dice
- 2 cups fresh orange juice
- 2 cups cola
- Serving suggestion: Yellow rice and wilted fresh spinach leaves
Directions
Season the pork with salt, to taste, and lightly the dust the cubes with flour.
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or a medium-size heavy pot over high heat. Add the pork and potatoes to the hot oil and saute until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add the onion, poblano chiles, and bell pepper. Continue cooking until the onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the orange juice and cola. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced to sauce consistency, 40 to 50 minutes. (If the sauce has not reduced in this time, strain and reduce the liquid separately over high heat until thickened.)
Before serving, reseason with salt, if necessary. Accompany the stew with yellow rice and wilted fresh spinach leaves.

I loved this recipe.....it was a bit too spicy for my kids though. I will probably use 1 pepper next time or use Anaheims, which are a bit less spicy. But delicious and easy nevertheless!

Sara how could you? I should have taken to heart the rest of the reviews. What a waste of time and ingredients. The glaze was gravy. It was boring. The meat was tender, but anything braised would be tender. The cola was interesting, but I now know that this was a Mexican ingredient because although sugar in Mexican villages was not always available, every store had Coke! I will be kind. Childhood memories are wonderful, unfortunately this dish was not.

The pork and potatoes were tender and the rest of the vegetables were ok. But the combination of orange juice and cola was too bitter and it was a watery broth, not a glaze. Who has time to strain it all and reduce the liquid further? Not sure if the poblanos really added that much flavor. My husband had to put hot pepper sauce on it. Yellow rice is a good accompaniment, though.
