Pork White Bean And Kale Soup From Eating Well Recipes

PORK WHITE BEAN AND KALE SOUP FROM EATING WELL

Steps:

• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork, sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring once or twice, until no longer pink on the outside, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate with tongs, leaving juices in the pot.
• Add onion to the pot and cook, stirring often, until just beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, paprika and crushed red pepper (if using) and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add wine and tomatoes, increase heat to high and stir to scrape up any browned bits. Add broth and bring to a boil.
• Add kale and stir just until it wilts. Reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is just tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in beans, the reserved pork and any accumulated juices; simmer until the beans and pork are heated through, about 2 minutes.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH WHITE BEANS AND KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Heat a large high-sided cast-iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season with the smoked paprika, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. When the oil is shimmering, add the pork and sear on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pork to the prepared baking sheet and roast until it registers 145 to 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set the same skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil if needed and add the peppers and onions. Add a splash of water to deglaze and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Remove and discard the tough, fibrous ribs from the kale leaves, then roughly chop the kale leaves. Add the kale and use a wooden spoon to carefully fold the hot vegetables over the kale to help it begin to wilt. Continue to cook until the kale is bright green and wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the white beans and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
• Slice the rested pork on the diagonal and serve with the white bean and kale mixture.

KALE AND WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Cut or tear the kale into 1/2-inch strips. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add about half of the beans, and lightly mash with a fork. Add water and stock, and bring to a boil. Stir in kale, remaining beans, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Partially cover, reduce heat, and simmer until kale is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Toast bread. Ladle soup into bowls, top with toast, and drizzle with remaining tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired.
