How to make?

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound ground pork

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth

1 can diced tomatoes, undrained

2 cups cooked chickpeas or one 15 ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

4 cups chopped Swiss chard leaves

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

Put a large shallow casserole pan on a high heat. Season the pork with sea salt and black pepper, then place in the pan with 1 Tbs. of olive oil and sear for 5 minutes, turning halfway. Meanwhile, drain the peppers and quickly dice into 1/2-inch chunks, then trim and finely slice the chard, stalks and all. Remove the pork to a plate, then add the fennel seeds, peppers, and all the chard to the pork fat left behind in the pan. Stir and fry for 2 minutes, then pour in the chickpeas and their juice, stir, and bring to a boil. Sit the pork back in so it’s touching the base of the pan, pour over any resting juices, cover, and simmer gently on a medium heat for 12 minutes, or until the pork is just cooked through and it all smells incredible, turning the pork occasionally. Rest for 2 minutes, slice the pork, season the chickpeas to perfection, adding a splash of red wine vinegar, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, and serve.
