Pork And Beans Stew Recipes

PORK AND BLACK BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, stir in garlic and onion, and cook a few minutes until the onion softens and turns translucent. Remove the onion, and place into a saucepan. Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil into the skillet, and place over medium-high heat. Add cubed pork, and cook until well browned.
• Meanwhile, pour 3/4 of the black beans along with 1/4 cup water into the bowl of a blender, and pulse until finely chopped, but not quite smooth. Pour whole beans and bean puree into saucepan along with pork cubes, chicken stock, chorizo, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

SPANISH PORK WITH BEANS

Steps:

• Mix the crushed garlic, 1 tbsp of the oil and 1 tsp smoked paprika together in a shallow dish and turn the pork steaks over in the mix to coat them on both sides. Heat a large non-stick frying pan and fry the pork for about 4 mins on each side to part-cook and brown them, then remove them from the pan.
• Add the rest of the oil to the pan and fry the onions, carrots and sliced garlic, stirring frequently for 10 mins until the veg starts to caramelise a little. Pour in the sherry vinegar, allowing it to sizzle in the heat, then add the peppers, bouillon, rosemary, any juices left in the dish from the pork, the cherry tomatoes, tomato purée, remaining 3 tsp paprika and beans.
• Lay the pork steaks on top, then cover the pan and cook for 20 mins until the pork and vegetables are tender. The pork will be cooked and juicy, but not fall apart. Remove the pork from the pan, stir in the parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, if using.
• If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, eat two portions of the pork and beans now and chill the rest for another day. Will keep for up to two days. To serve the second night, just reheat in a pan.

SLOW COOKER PORK AND BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté carrots for 2 minutes, add celery and onions and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
• Combine soaked, drained cranberry beans with vegetables and vegetable stock in the slow cooker. Add the tomatoes. Stir in the tomato paste and seasonings. Add the ham hock or, if using pork shank, slice the thick fat layer and cut it off in two big pieces - this allows the heat to get to the meat quicker and cook it to tenderness; stir into the stew (it adds flavor, will not dissolve into fat, and is removed prior to serving) along with the meaty bone to the mixture. Cook on high heat for 6-8 hours.
• Stir the mixture occasionally, if you're at home and able to do this. When you get home or an hour or so before serving, lower the heat to Low and add the kale. Alternatively, the kale can be added in the beginning - I like to add it at the end so it retains it's bright green color. Before serving, remove the pieces of pork rind.

MEXICAN PORK AND BLACK BEAN STEW

Steps:

• If using dried black beans cook until tender. I use a pressure cooker with lots of water for 22 minutes. After they pressure cook I let them simmer another 15-20 minutes until just tender. You can cook them any way you like or just use canned.
• If you think of it, salt the pork liberally the night before. If not, no big deal. But it's a nice touch if you do.
• Heat the oil in a large (like 6-7 quart) pot or dutch oven. Brown the pork in batches. It will take 3 or 4 batches to get through all of them. Don't crowd your pork. Add more oil as required. Remove the pork and set aside.
• While the pork is browning, heat a comal or cast iron frying pan over medium heat. Dry roast the onion slices and garlic. You want them to be a bit charred. Not full on burned. Just a bit of dark brown and softened through. This adds a nice depth of flavour.
• Coarsely chop the onion. Add the onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, Mexican oregano, salt and half the tomatoes with half the juices to a blender. Puree until smooth. Put the tomatoes and their juices in the bottom. This will make it easier on the blender. Add a bit of water if it won't go.
• Add enough oil to get to about 4 Tbsp if needed. You should already have enough but if you don't top it up a bit. Add the jalapeño and fry gently until softened, about 1 minute. Add the onion mixture, turn the heat up to medium and fry for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Return the pork to the pot along with any accumulated juices. Add the chicken stock. Dice the remaining tomatoes and add them to the pot. Don't add the remaining tomato juice in the can. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the pork is tender, about an hour to 70 minutes.
• Add the black beans and simmer 10 minutes.
• Add a squeeze of lime and the cilantro and simmer another 5 minutes. Adjust salt. You will probably need to add somewhere around another tsp or so.
• Serve with additional lime wedges, a bit of finely diced jalapeño and corn tortillas.

PORK, CHORIZO AND BUTTER BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat, add the pork pieces and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until browned on the outside but not completely cooked through, then remove from the pan and set aside to rest on a warm plate.
• Add the chorizo to the pan the pork was fried in and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until crisp and golden-brown. Remove from the pan and set aside with the pork.
• Add the onion and chilli to the same pan and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
• Add the garlic and the wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the volume of liquid has reduced by a quarter.
• Add the chopped tomatoes and the butter beans, then return the cooked pork and chorizo to the pan and stir well.
• Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over a low heat, cover the pan with a lid and cook for at least 45 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and reduced in volume. Add a few tablespoons of water to the simmering mixture now and again, as necessary, when the sauce becomes too dry.
• Just before serving, sprinkle over the parsley and stir in the honey and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper, as necessary.
• To serve, spoon some of the pork stew into the centre of each of six serving plates. Place a portion of garlic bread alongside each serving.

TENDER PORK STEW WITH BEANS

Steps:

• Season pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add pork to hot oil and cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add onions, red bell peppers, and garlic to pork; cook and stir until onion is slightly tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir tomatoes with green chile peppers, kidney beans, beef broth, green chile peppers, chili powder, basil, and cumin into pork mixture. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover Dutch oven, and simmer, stirring every 15 minutes, until pork is tender and falling apart, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Stir edamame, corn, and carrots into stew; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Break pork into pieces using the flat edge of a wooden spoon creating a 'shredded' texture.

PORK STEW WITH OLIVES AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper. Add pork to pot and cook until brown, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer pork to plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to pot. Add onions and sauté until very tender, about 12 minutes. Add garlic and cook 3 minutes. Return pork to pot. Add tomatoes with their juices, low-salt chicken broth, white wine, thyme and oregano. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until pork is almost tender, about 1 hour. Add olives and continue cooking until pork is very tender and juices are slightly thickened, about 45 minutes.
• Add green beans to stew. Cover and cook over low heat until beans are just tender, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
