Italian Pork White Bean and Acorn Squash Stew
Submitted by: Jimmy
 This is a very filling and delicious Italian Stew. It takes a while to cook, but I promise it will be worth the wait

INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 cup(s) , Dry White Beans
  • 2 tablespoon(s) , Olive Oil
  • 2 pound(s) , Boneless Country Style Pork Ribs cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Remove Some Fat
  • 1 medium , Onion Chopped
  • 1 large , Carrot Chopped
  • 1 large , Celery Stalk Minced
  • 3 large , Garlic Cloves Thinly Sliced
  • 5 cup(s) , Chicken Stock
  • 1 1/2 cup(s) , Canned Tomatoes with Juices
  • 1 tablespoon(s) , Fresh Sage
  • 1 1/2 cup(s) , Acorn Squash Peeled and Cubed
  • 2 tablespoon(s) , Fresh Italian PArsley Minced

Instructions:
Place Italian beans in large bowl. Cover generously with cold water and soak overnight. Drain beans in colander. Rinse them well until all foaminess is gone. Cook the beans in plain water for 1-1 1/2 hours. No salt. This helps to tenderize the beans, especially at high altitudes. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add the pork in batches and brown on all sides.
Transfer pork to heavy large pot or Dutch oven. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion, carrot, celery and garlic and sauté until soft, about 10-15 minutes. (The longer you cook vegetables such as these over relatively low heat, the more of their delicious, fabulous smelling juices they will release).
Transfer vegetables to pot with pork. Pour 1 cup stock into skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits from the pork. Add deglazing liquids from skillet, remaining 4 cups stock, beans, tomatoes and sage to pot.
Cover pot and simmer stew 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Uncover pot and simmer 15 minutes to reduce liquids.
Add squash and simmer until beans, pork and squash are tender, about 30 minutes longer and, bada bing! You've got a truly delicious Italian stew.
Transfer this wonderful Italian soup creation to some authentic Italian soup bowls and get ready for the praise that is sure to come your way.
