⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (400 g) dried white beans
  • 4 cups (1 liter) water
  • 200 g pork rind (cotiche), cut into pieces
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 can (14 oz or 400 g) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare Beans

Rinse the dried beans under cold water.

Place them in a large bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

Cook Beans

Drain and rinse the soaked beans.

In a large pot, add the beans and 4 cups of fresh water.

Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the beans are tender. Drain and set aside.

Prepare Pork Rind

In a separate pot, cook the pork rind pieces in a small amount of water until tender, about 30-40 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste.

Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

Combine

Add the cooked beans and pork rind pieces to the pot.

Pour in enough water to cover the mixture (about 2-3 cups) and bring to a simmer.

Cook for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the flavors are well combined and the stew has thickened.

Serve

Remove the bay leaves before serving.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Enjoy your meal!
