- 1/2 pound pork, in bite-size pieces
- 1 tablespoon oil or 1 to 2 tablespoons fat trimmed from meat
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup white wine (or use all water)

A new take on the perennial favorite, pork and beans - only this version is savory rather than
the more familiar, molasses-sweetened style. The meat can be from any cut, and could even be
trimmings from a loin or roast. Can be multiplied as needed.

Directions
  • Cut pork into bite-size pieces. Salt and pepper lightly.
  • Heat oil or render ( see
    TIP) a chunk of pork fat in skillet. Brown pork pieces. Remove meat, add onion to pan and brown
    slightly.
  • Add wine and water to pan with oregano and potato. Add browned pork and any
    accumulated juices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to maintain a simmer, and cover. Simmer until
    potatoes and pork are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir in beans and cook until beans are heated
    through. Serve hot.
  • TIP: To render pork fat, cook slowly to melt fat, then remove any remaining
    solids
