Hearty Pork and Bean Chili-Style Stew
  1. 1

    Season the pork tenderloin with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork to the hot oil and cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add the onions, red bell peppers, and garlic to the pork; cook and stir until the onion is slightly tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir the tomatoes with green chile peppers, kidney beans, beef broth, green chile peppers, chili powder, basil, and cumin into the pork mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the Dutch oven, and simmer, stirring every 15 minutes, until the pork is tender and falling apart, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Stir the edamame, corn, and carrots into the stew; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Break the pork into pieces using the flat edge of a wooden spoon to create a shredded texture.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
