Instructions

  1. 1 Season chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot on medium-high heat; add chicken. Cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
  2. 2 Add sausage and onion to the same Dutch oven; cook and stir until onion is just becoming translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. 3 Stir in paprika, cumin, herbes de Provence, parsley, and bay leaf; cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Return browned chicken to the Dutch oven; add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Transfer chicken and sausage to a plate using a slotted spoon; transfer broth to a different bowl and set aside. When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove and discard skin and bones; set chicken meat and sausage aside.
  5. 5 Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the same Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in orzo, bell pepper, and chile pepper until coated with oil. Stir in 1 1/2 cups hot broth, 1/2 cup at a time; cook until broth is mostly absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  6. 6 Slowly add remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, and stir until mostly absorbed and orzo tender but still slightly firm in center, about 15 minutes (you probably won't use all the broth). Off heat, stir in chicken and sausage; cover and rest until orzo soaks up remaining broth, about 5 minutes. You can add extra broth when serving if it is a little dry.

Instructions

  1. 1 Make the stew: Place black beans into a large bowl, cover with water, and soak for 8 hours, or overnight. Drain beans.
  2. 2 Place drained beans into a heavy pot with 2 quarts water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until beans are cooked but very firm, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  3. 3 Stir chopped dried beef into the pot. Add bay leaf and pork chop bones, stir and simmer over low heat for another 2 hours.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large, dry skillet over medium heat until not quite crisp. Add linguica and Italian sausage links; cook, stirring often, until meats are brown, about 10 minutes. Remove meats, reserving accumulated fat in the skillet. Slice Italian sausage into chunks.
  5. 5 Brown onion and garlic in the reserved drippings in the skillet over medium heat until onion is translucent and soft, stirring to deglaze the pan, about 5 minutes. Season with cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Add parsley; cook and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  6. 6 Stir onion-spice mixture into the pot with the beans. Add bacon, both sausages, and pork chop meat. Pour in enough water so meats are just covered with liquid. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until beans are very soft and liquid begins to thicken, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If beans begin to look dry, add more water.
  7. 7 Meanwhile, make the bread crumbs: Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add bread crumbs and cook and stir until toasted. Stir in Italian parsley and orange zest.
  8. 8 When beans are cooked, discard bones. Ladle stew into bowls and top with the toasted bread crumbs.
