My Italian nana taught me this recipe, and it’s been my hubby’s fave!

Ever find yourself dreaming of a rustic Italian getaway? Me too, but let’s face it, dropping everything for a Tuscan adventure isn’t always in the cards. That’s why I’m bringing a slice of Italy right to your kitchen with my Slow Cooker Tuscan Pork Stew. This dish is a comforting hug in a bowl, with tender pork shoulder, white beans, and a rich, herb-infused tomato broth that simmers to perfection while you tackle your to-do list. It’s perfect for those days when you want a meal that feels gourmet without spending hours over a hot stove. Plus, your home will smell amazing – a bonus in my book!

My Tuscan Pork Stew is delightfully hearty on its own, but I love to pair it with a crusty loaf of bread for dipping into that savory broth. If you’re looking to up your veggie game, serve it alongside a crisp green salad drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. And, for the ultimate comfort meal, a side of creamy polenta does wonders to soak up all that rich flavor.
