Instructions
 

  •  
  • Prepare a slow cooker with nonstick spray.
  • For added flavor, place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Season the pork with salt and black pepper. Add the pork to the skillet in batches, browning on all sides. Transfer the pork to the slow cooker.
  • To the pork in the slow cooker, add the tomatoes, chicken broth, vegetables, red wine vinegar, and seasonings. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
  • If a thicker stew is desired, mix the cornstarch and water. Stir the mixture into the slow cooker and re-cover, cooking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the stew is thickened.
  • Serve over cooked pasta.
