Updated: 1 day ago
The preparation of this delightful stew featuring green beans and tender pork meat is not only incredibly simple but also embodies a healthy culinary choice. One of the standout aspects of this dish is the absence of flour, which makes it a great option for those who are looking to avoid gluten or simply prefer a lighter meal.

Ingredients and Nutritional Benefits
The key ingredients in this stew include fresh green beans and succulent pieces of pork. Green beans are a fantastic source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as dietary fiber, which contributes to a well-rounded diet. They provide essential nutrients that support overall health, including antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress in the body. The pork, on the other hand, is not only juicy and flavorful but also rich in protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. It also contains important vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, zinc, and iron, which are vital for energy production and immune function.
Cooking Process
To prepare this delicious stew, start by selecting high-quality, fresh ingredients. Begin by trimming the green beans and cutting the pork into bite-sized pieces. The cooking process is straightforward: sauté the pork in a bit of olive oil until it turns golden brown and develops a rich flavor. This initial step is crucial as it forms the base of the stew, allowing the natural juices of the meat to infuse the dish with depth and aroma.
Once the pork is browned, add the green beans along with any desired seasonings, such as garlic, onions, or herbs like thyme and rosemary, which will enhance the dish's fragrance. The combination of these ingredients creates a symphony of flavors that meld beautifully as they cook together. Adding a splash of broth or water will help to create a savory sauce that coats the green beans and pork, ensuring that every bite is juicy and full of flavor.
Final Touches and Serving Suggestions
As the stew simmers, the pork becomes tender, and the green beans maintain a slight crunch, providing a delightful texture contrast. The resulting dish is not only visually appealing with its vibrant colors but also aromatic, filling the kitchen with a warm and inviting scent. Once cooked, serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh herbs for an added touch of brightness and flavor.
This green beans with pork stew can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a side of whole grains, such as brown rice or quinoa, to create a complete meal that is both nourishing and satisfying. The combination of protein, vegetables, and healthy fats makes it a well-balanced dish that is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a weeknight dinner or a special gathering with family and friends.

Ingredients: simple, total time: 125 min. 6 serving
600 g green beans/ cut in half- if they are long
750 g pork cut into cubes/ preferably without fat
1 medium onion/ finely chopped
1 big carrot / diced
1 teaspoon herbal spice/ Vegeta
5 medium potatoes/ into medium slices
2 Tbsp of oil
3 teaspoons of red ground pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
2 full teaspoons weed dill
water as needed
1 large pot
Preparation:
Prepare all the ingredients listed above in the description above.
Fry the chopped onion in a pot with very little oil over moderate heat. When it has a glassy appearance, add the herbal spice/Vegeta, prepared carrot, and stir. Stew for about 5 minutes, add the prepared meat, and stir the ingredients well. Add 100 ml of water, cover, and stir occasionally. Stew the meat for about 30 minutes. (I always had a small pot of 300 ml next to me, and I add water as needed during cooking).
After the specified time, add the prepared green beans.
Stir the ingredients well and add water so that it is under the green beans and meat, not too much. I do it all on purpose. Cover the pot and cook for the next 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, on a slightly moderate heat.
After the specified time, add sliced potatoes, ground red pepper, salt, pepper to taste, and weed dill; add water to cover the potatoes and cook for about 25 minutes on slightly moderate heat, stirring occasionally.
Take out 6 slices of boiled potatoes and put them in a blender; add about 100 ml of water and blend well into a cream. After that, add a little more water and pour the mixture into the pot and stir well. Cook covered on slightly moderate heat 30 min, and stir occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste as needed. If you are not sure that the meat is cooked, take out a piece, cut it, and taste it. The meat must be soft and well cooked!
When the dish is ready, serve it in a deeper plate. If you like, you can add a spoonful of sour cream to the plate.
Buon appetito!

NOTE:
Here in Italy, you cannot find yellow green beans; if you have them, you can prepare them according to this recipe. In any case, both will be delicious!!
Cover the rest of the food and keep it in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days.
