Background
This pork tenderloin stew with beans and kale is a fantastic Mediterranean one-pot dish which is super easy to make! You can make it more Spanish, by adding cumin seeds or more Italian, using fennel seeds and marjoram instead of oregano. Serve it with pasta, brown rice, polenta, mashed potatoes or just some wholesome bread.
