Well, I had a big hunk of leftover pork loin roast, a bag of frozen sliced okra and a couple of cans of beans.
So I Googled those ingredients (Google is stupendous!) and this popped up:

I adapted it - my recipe below. I don't care much for potatoes or tomatoes in stews so I left them out. Doubled the amount of beans (only had 1 can of kidney, so I used 1 can of Roman beans) and okra.
It's wonderful! And fits in nicely with my sorta Weight-Watchers diet.
Homemade stew for lunches next week!
