Salami lends a flavour charge to pork fillets in this comforting bean stew.

2 tbs olive oil
125g mild salami, chopped
2 x 350g pork fillets, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces
1 each carrot, red onion & celery stalk, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
6 thyme sprigs, leaves chopped
2 sage leaves, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups (375ml) Massel Chicken Style Liquid Stock
250g baby roma tomatoes, halved
2 x 400g cans butter beans
400g can red kidney beans
100g baby spinach leaves
Toasted ciabatta, to serve

Method

1.

Heat 1 tbs oil in a casserole over high heat. Cook salami, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until crisp, then remove from pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Do not drain oil from pan.
2.

Season pork. In 2 batches, cook, turning, for 2-3 minutes until golden. Remove from pan and repeat with remaining pork.
3.

Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 tbs oil. Add the carrot, onion and celery, and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add garlic, thyme and sage, and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the stock, tomatoes and beans, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until flavours have infused. Return the pork to pan and cook, stirring for a further 2-3 minutes until pork is tender. Add spinach and stir until wilted. Remove from heat.
4.

Scatter with crisp salami and serve with toasted ciabatta.
