JOTA: SAUERKRAUT, BEAN AND PORK SOUP
Mario Batali's recipe for a hearty, warming Northern Italian soup, pronounced "hota". You can use any good chicken stock with good results, but Recipe #471225 will give the best. Other beans, such as pinto or borlotti, can also be used. This recipe is from a 2001 Food Network show and is no longer available on their web site. Use pancetta or bacon in place of speck, if unavailable. Prep time is for soaking the beans.

Steps:
- Bring the kidney beans to a boil in a large pot with plenty of salted water. Remove from the heat, cover and set aside for 1 hour.
- In a large casserole or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over high heat. Season the pork well with salt and pepper and sear on all sides, working in batches if necessary, and remove the meat when it is browned. Add the speck, sage, parsley, and garlic and saute for 5 minutes before returning it to the casserole.
- Drain the beans and add them to the casserole with the stock and the sauerkraut and bring to a simmer. Cook the mixture slowly for 45 minutes, or until the pork is very tender and the beans are cooked through.
- Slowly sprinkle the polenta over the stew and stir constantly for 10 minutes, or until the polenta has expanded. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

[email protected]This Jota soup was delicious! I used a smoked pork hock and it gave the soup an amazing flavor. The sauerkraut and beans added a nice tangy and hearty flavor. I will definitely be making this soup again.
