Time 18h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound dry cannellini beans
2 tablespoons butter, or to taste
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (1 1/2) pound smoked pork shank
1 quart water
2 cups chicken stock
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh oregano
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 tomato, diced
1 recipe homemade gremolata (see footnote)
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place cannellini beans in a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse.
  • Melt butter in a heavy pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir pork shank, water, chicken stock, and bay leaves into onion mixture; bring to simmer, reduce heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer until flavors blend, about 45 minutes.
  • Turn shank over and stir oregano, rosemary, and red pepper flakes into chicken stock mixture; add beans and stir. Return mixture to a simmer, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer until beans are almost tender, about 1 hour. Simmer uncovered until beans are tender, about 30 minutes more. Cool to room temperature, cover the pot, and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Spoon accumulated fat from the top of the chilled bean mixture and discard fat. Remove pork shank; cut meat into slices and discard bone.
  • Stir sliced pork shank, tomato, gremolata, salt, and black pepper into bean mixture over medium heat; cook and stir until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the pork shank. However, the white beans were good.
