Ingredients

  • ½ pound dried Great Northern beans soaked overnight in generously salted water, then drained well
  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • 1 pound pork shoulder, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ pound garlic sausage
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 head garlic, peeled
  • 4 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 can (28 oz.) peeled plum tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken stock
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley, stems removed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 sheets puff pastry, defrosted

  • Method

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • 2
    Season the pork generously on all sides.
  • 3
    Brown the bacon in a large dutch oven over medium heat. When crisp, remove and set aside. Brown the pork in batches, until deeply caramelized on all sides, about 8 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.
  • 4
    Add the sausages and cook until well-browned on all sides. Remove sausage, slice and set aside.
  • 5
    Drain fat leaving 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the onions and cook until translucent (not brown), about 2-3 minutes. Add the beans, carrot, celery, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, tomatoes, stock and meat to pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and place in the oven for 2 to 2 ½ hours until beans and pork are tender. Remove from heat, add parsley, salt and pepper to taste.
  • 6
    After stew has cooled, preheat oven to 400°F.
  • 7
    Divide stew among six cocottes. Trim the puff pastry to cover the cocottes and gently press against the rim to adhere. Brush tops with lightly beaten egg mixed with 1 teaspoon water. Slice a small x to vent. Bake until tops are puffy and golden, about 20-25 minutes. Enjoy warm.
