2 tablespoons olive oil
4 pork chops
1 cup onion, diced
2 celery stalks, washed and diced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
3 cups butternut squash, peeled and chopped into medium size chunks
4 thyme sprigs, just the leaves

In a pot on medium high heat, heat up olive oil. Sauté the pork chops on both sides until browned. Remove from pot, place on a plate, and cut into small pieces and save.

In the same pot, add the onion, celery and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant. Add the cut pork chops, butternut squash, thyme and bay leaf, and sauté for another minute. Season with pepper. Add chicken stock, tomatoes and beans; mix until everything is well combined. Reduce heat, cover with lid and let cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the butternut squash is soft. Add kale, cover and cook for 5 more minutes.
