Pork and Bean Stew - Recipe

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.

Pork and Bean Stew Recipe
Directions
  • Cut pork into bite-size pieces. Salt and pepper lightly.

  • 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
