Chef's Tip
Under Pressure!
To make this stew in a pressure cooker, prep all the ingredients as instructed; set aside the parsley for garnish. Add all the ingredients (except the parsley) to the pressure cooker and season with salt and pepper. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. Carefully release the pressure. Remove the lid and transfer the stew to individual bowls. Garnish with the parsley and serve.
Ingredient IQ
A favorite way to add heat to most any dish, chile flakes tend to contain every part of the dried chile: skin, seeds, and ribs (the hottest part because they hold the most capsaicin). Red chile flakes are most often made from crushed dried cayenne chiles, though you can sometimes find them made from ancho and arbol chiles as well. Heat and color can vary widely depending on the brand.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the vegetables

  • Peel and coarsely chop the onion.
  • Scrub or peel the carrot and trim the ends; coarsely chop the carrot.
  • Cut the fennel lengthwise into quarters and cut away the core; coarsely chop the fennel.
In a large frying pan [large sauce pot] over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, carrot, and fennel, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
While the vegetables cook, prepare the remaining ingredients.

Prep and cook the pork; finish the stew

  • Pat the pork dry with a paper towel; cut the pork into 1-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  • Rinse the white beans.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves for garnish.
In the same pan used for the vegetables, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic-herb blend and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken broth, beans, 1 cup [2 cups] water, and as many chile flakes as you like, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the liquid starts to thicken, about 15 minutes. Add the vegetables, cover, and cook until the pork is tender and cooked through and the vegetables are warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Serve

Transfer the pork stew to individual bowls, garnish with the parsley, and serve.
