White Beans With Salt Pork Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Drain the soaked beans in a colander and rinse them with cold running water. In a medium heavy casserole, combine the mustard, vinegar, ginger, brown sugar, onion and chicken stock. Whisk together until evenly blended and add the beans.
• Trim any tough outer skin from the salt pork and pork hocks and add them to the casserole, placing the bacon in the center and 1 hock on either side. Bake in the warm oven for 3 hours, or until the beans have absorbed most of the liquid and the remaining sauce is thick. Stir occasionally to keep the beans evenly moistened, and add up to 1 cup water if necessary to keep the beans from scorching. About 1 hour before the beans will be done, combine all the ingredients for the garnish in a small glass bowl and toss together well. Pull the meat off the bones, cut the bacon into chunks and serve each bowl garnished with a spoonful of the vegetable salsa.

Steps:

• Put the beans in a large bowl or pot with water to cover and soak at room temperature overnight.
• The next day, dice half the salt pork and leave the other half in 1 piece. Drain the beans and put them in a large Dutch oven with the whole piece of salt pork and enough water to cover, about 1 quart. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cover, and simmer until soft, about 1 1/2 hours. Drain the beans, reserving 2 cups cooking liquid.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the diced salt pork in another large Dutch oven (or clean the first one) and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent and slightly crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion, molasses, ketchup, dry mustard, cooked beans and enough of the reserved cooking liquid to cover the beans. If necessary, add more water to cover the beans.
• Bake, covered, until the beans are soft to the tooth and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 2 hours. When finished, season with some salt and pepper and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large braiser or high-sided ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon; cook until crisp. Add onion; cook until tender. Add garlic and thyme; cook for 1 minute. Add wine; cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes; cook until sauce is thickened. Add stock and beans; bring to a simmer. Add sausages. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Toast breadcrumbs in remaining butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in parsley. Season with coarse salt.
• Remove skillet from oven. Heat broiler. Scatter breadcrumbs over top of sausage mixture. Broil 6 inches from heat source until top is deep golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Season pork loin with salt and pepper. Mix chili powder, cumin, and onion powder together; sprinkle on all sides of the pork.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil until hot. Cut pork loin in half to fit in the pot if necessary. Cook until browned on each side, about 5 minutes total. Remove and set aside.
• Pour beer into the pot and stir to deglaze, scraping up all the browned bits. Return pork loin to the pot. Place bay leaves on top. Pour cannellini beans, then salsa, on top. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 15 to 20 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Slice pork, cut into chunks, or shred. Serve with the beans.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet (preferably straight-sided) over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and 1 teaspoon salt, and stir, then cook undisturbed in an even layer until one side is golden, about 4 minutes. (It's great if the butter browns, but decrease the heat if it threatens to get too dark.) Stir in the asparagus, carrot and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in the peas, scallions and ½ teaspoon salt, then add the red-pepper flakes, oregano and a generous amount of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the peas are warmed through and bright green, about 2 minutes.
• Add the white beans and the cream, lower the heat to medium, and let the cream come to a simmer. Simmer for about 1 minute.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice, Parmesan and Dijon. Taste and season with more salt, pepper or lemon juice as needed. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of warm water to the creamy beans to loosen as you like; the sauce will thicken as it cools. (You may need more water when you reheat any leftovers.) Serve in bowls topped with the nuts and a handful of basil leaves. Pass more Parmesan at the table.
