Paprika Pork Stew

1 1/2 lbs. fresh pork tenderloin, cut into 1" chunks
2 T. Paprika
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 T. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 t. chili powder
1 T. flour
1 c. low sodium chicken broth
1 14oz. can crushed tomatoes
1 T. tomato paste
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 c. sour cream

1. In a heavy deep pan heat olive oil. Add onion and saute until translucent and soft. About 5 minutes.

2. In a wide bowl toss pork with the paprika until fully evenly coated. Add pork to the pan with the onion, saute until the pork is evenly browned. Then, add chili powder and garlic and saute for 1 - 2 minutes, or until garlic is fragrant. Stir meat to make sure spices are evenly distributed.

3. Sprinkle 1 T. flour over the mixture and stir until the flour is incorporated. Then add chicken broth, peppers, tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir well and adjust heat so that the stew is gently simmering.

4. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about an hour and a half. Or, simmer for 1 hour the turn off the stove and leave it covered. Then simmer for remaining 1/2 hour right before dinner time. Serve with a dollop of fresh sour cream on top.
