For the Marinade
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup Consider honey for a unique twist.
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar Substitute with white vinegar if necessary.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Soak the Beans: Start the night before by soaking the great northern beans in cold water for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper until combined.
  3. Marinate the Pork Chops: Place pork chops in a zip-top bag, pour marinade over, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
  4. Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook pork sausage for 6-8 minutes until browned. Set aside.
  5. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, cook onions until tender, then add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  6. Cook the Beans: Add soaked beans and chicken stock to the pan, bring to a boil, then simmer for 45-60 minutes until tender.
  7. Cook the Pork Chops: In a separate skillet, heat olive oil and cook marinated pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side until golden-brown.
  8. Rest and Serve: Let the pork chops rest for 5-7 minutes, then serve over savory beans.
