Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds boneless (farmer's style) pork spareribs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 large onions, chopped
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes
1 14 1/2-ounce can low-salt chicken broth
1 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
3/4 cup hojiblanca, cacereña or Niçoise olives
1 pound green beans, cut into 2-inch lengths

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper. Add pork to pot and cook until brown, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer pork to plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to pot. Add onions and sauté until very tender, about 12 minutes. Add garlic and cook 3 minutes. Return pork to pot. Add tomatoes with their juices, low-salt chicken broth, white wine, thyme and oregano. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until pork is almost tender, about 1 hour. Add olives and continue cooking until pork is very tender and juices are slightly thickened, about 45 minutes.

    Step 2

    Add green beans to stew. Cover and cook over low heat until beans are just tender, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
