Ingredients

6 1/8 tablespoons white beans dried
1 head broccoli rabe or green cabbage, cleaned and chunked
1 piece pancetta optional
2 marrow bones beef, optional
2 potatoes peeled and sliced
2 chorizo sausage smoked, sliced, optional
fresh pork fat reserved, or vegetable shortening
salt

Directions

1

The night before, cover the beans with cold water and let sit overnight to soften. Drain the next day.
2

Wash the broccoli rabe very well under hot water and rub the leaves together until running, cold water to release some of their bitterness.
3

Heat up a pot with water. Once boiling, add the broccoli rabe. When it comes to the boil again, remove the broccoli rabe and immediately immerse them in cold water to stop the cooking process.
4

In a Dutch oven, add the pancetta, beans, and marrow bones. Cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and strain off the foam that rises to the top. Simmer 30 minutes.
5

Add in the potatoes and boil another 15 minutes.
6

Add the chorizo and the grease and simmer another 15 minutes.
7

Check to see if the potatoes and beans are soft. If so, remove the bones.
8

Salt to taste.

In the last few minutes, add back in the broccoli rabe and serve.
