SPEEDY PORK CASSOULET
Serves four.
• 3 boneless pork chops, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 15-ounce cans great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
Cooking Directions
Heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat.
Cook and stir onions and garlic until tender but not grown.
Add pork, cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned.
Stir in beans, broth, tomatoes, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper.
Bring to boiling; reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes or just until pork is tender, stirring occasionally.
Spoon cassoulet into individual soup bowls.
Sprinkle each serving with parsley and breadcrumbs.
Wine suggestion: Serve with a hearty red like a Shiraz, a Syrah or a Cotes du Rhone.
Serving Suggestions
Cassoulet, a hearty Southwestern French white bean and meat stew, offers a harmony of flavors. This “quickie” version can be fixed for a weeknight supper. Serve with crusty French rolls and greens tossed with garlic vinaigrette.
