Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the brown-coated pork cubes on all sides in the hot oil, about 3 minutes per side. Move the browned pork to the prepared casserole dish, leaving the oil in the skillet.

Cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot skillet until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, sherry, sweet potato cubes, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, and salt with the onion; bring to a boil. Pour the sweet potato mixture over the pork and cover the casserole dish.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
