INGREDIENTS

4 tablespoons olive oil
150 g white onion (finely chopped)
300 g pork leg
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon ground sweet paprika
2 cloves garlic (finely grated)
350 ml vegetable broth (can be replaced with water)
200 g canned chopped tomatoes
200 g canned red beans (drained and rinsed)
200 g canned white beans (drained and rinsed)
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley (finely chopped)
50 g spring onion (finely chopped)
Salt
Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion to the pot and sauté for 5–6 minutes over medium heat.
2
Meanwhile, wash and dry the pork leg, then cut it into smaller cubes (approx. 2 cm × 2 cm).
3
Once the onion is sautéed, add the meat to the pot and sauté together for another 5–6 minutes. After this time, add the tomato paste, ground paprika, finely grated garlic, salt, and pepper, and sauté for 1 minute (still over medium heat). Then pour the broth into the meat mixture and add the chopped tomatoes. Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 40–45 minutes, stirring occasionally. During cooking, check that there is enough liquid in the pot. If the liquid evaporates, add another 100 ml of broth.
4
After this time, add the drained and rinsed beans to the meat mixture, increase the heat to medium, and cook together for another 10 minutes. Then turn off the heat, add the flat-leaf parsley and spring onion, and serve.

Tip

Instead of pork leg, you can also use pork tenderloin – in this case, the cooking time will be shortened to approximately 20 minutes.
