1 medium white-skinned waxy potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/4 cups shelled fresh or frozen lima beans (not baby limas)
2 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cups small cauliflower florets (about 1/2 a medium head)
1 1/2 cups chopped green cabbage (about 1/4 head)
1 cup diced Spanish onion
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed, cut in half
1 medium celery rib, cut into 1-inch slices
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped
3 cups peeled and cubed eggplant (about 1/2 a small eggplant)
6 white button mushrooms, cleaned and halved
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley, loosely packed
1 cup tomato juice
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Dash of cayenne, or to taste

Directions

In a large Dutch oven or large, heavy pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and saute the pork for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until browned on all sides. Transfer the pork to a plate. In the same pan, layer the vegetables, pork and seasonings in the following order: sweet potato, white potato, lima beans, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, onion, bell pepper, green beans, celery, tomatoes, eggplant, mushrooms, pork, garlic, bay leaf and parsley.

In a small bowl mix the tomato juice, tomato paste, paprika, oregano, basil, Worcestershire sauce, salt and black pepper to taste, and cayenne. Pour over the vegetables.

Cover and bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, until the pork and vegetables are tender. Adjust the seasonings and remove the bay leaf. Cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. Makes 4 servings.
