Pork Carnitas & Chickpea Stew



You could use canned beans for this, but cooking them yourself will give much better flavor and texture.

1-2 cups chopped leftover pork carnitas
Leftover pork carnitas sauce or 2 cups full strength broth
1 recipe cooked chickpeas
Olive oil
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
1/4 head green cabbage, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2-3 Tbl tomato paste
1 Tbl ancho chili powder or chili powder blend
1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder (optional)
2 cups water
1/2 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large stock pot
  • Sauté celery, onion and carrot with 1/2 tsp kosher salt until moisture has evaporated and vegetables are beginning to brown
  • Add garlic and stir well
  • Add tomato paste, ancho and chipotle chili powders and stir to coat the vegetables
  • Add chickpeas, water and sauce or broth
  • Scrape browned bits off bottom of pan
  • Add cabbage and pork, stir and bring to a boil
  • Reduce heat and cover - simmer for 25-30 minutes until vegetables are tender
  • Let stand and reheat when ready to serve or refrigerate overnight, reheat and serve

    Chipotle chili powder is hot if you purchase your spices from a good source. If you don't like heat you can leave this out without affecting the finish. You could also easily substitute smoked paprika.
