ingredients

1 ounce lean salt pork (may use 2 tbsp olive oil)
1 lamb chop, all visible fat removed
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tomatoes, medium, very ripe, peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped
2 ¹⁄₂ cups kidney beans, cooked
1 potato, large, peeled, roughly chopped in 1/2- 1- inch pieces
4 -5 carrots, peeled, cooked, mashed
¹⁄₂ lb sausage, chouriso
6 cups broth (from a boiled dinner, or water, or combo)
¹⁄₄ lb green beans, fresh, trimmed, cut in 1-inch pieces
¹⁄₄ cup elbow macaroni
1 cup savoy cabbage, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon salt, coarse sea salt

directions

In a large pot, add the salt pork and fry it rendering the fat from it. When the solids are crisp remove them from the pot.
Add the lamb chop, browning it until lightly golden on both sides, then transfer to a dish until needed.
Toss in the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, then add the tomatoes, stir and cover tightly and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes until the tomato has broken down a bit.
Mix in the beans, sausage link, chopped potatoes and the lamb chop, then pour in the broth, adding enough water if necessary to completely cover the ingredients by 2 inches. Cover tightly and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, for 20 minutes until the potatoes are almost done.
Next, stir in the mashed carrots, green beans, and chopped cabbage. Simmer for 15 minutes more, until green beans and cabbage are tender.
If needed, season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for one more minute.
Serve hot with crusty bread to dip in the broth and Enjoy!

I am a very lucky lady. I recently moved to a very small town in New Brunswick, Canada with my wonderful husband who is my best friend. Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed. A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
