Prep Time: 40 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Ready In: 80 Minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound(s) pork tenderloin trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1 medium onion chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoon(s) paprika smoked if possible
1/4 teaspoon(s) red peppers (to taste) crushed
1 cup(s) white wine
4 plum tomatoes chopped
4 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
8 cup(s) kale, ribs removed chopped
15 ounce(s) white beans rinsed
Directions:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Tips & Notes
5. Tip: While we love the convenience of canned beans, they tend to be high in sodium. Give them a good rinse before adding to a recipe to rid them of some of their sodium (up to 35 percent) or opt for low-sodium or no-salt-added varieties. (Our recipes are analyzed with rinsed, regular canned beans.) Or, if you have the time, cook your own beans from scratch.
