Crock Pot Pork Bean Stew Recipes

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.
