Prepare the beans and meats: Place the soaked and drained white beans in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Add the pork shoulder chunks and lacรณn (if using). Cover with about 2 liters of cold water or broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and the beans are beginning to soften. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the first 30 minutes of simmering.
โฑ๏ธ 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours - 2
Add potatoes and chorizo: Add the potato chunks to the pot. Pierce the chorizo links a few times with a fork to allow their flavor to infuse into the broth, then add them to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 30-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the chorizo is cooked through. The broth should start to thicken slightly.
โฑ๏ธ 30 to 45 minutes - 3
Incorporate the greens: Add the chopped grelos (turnip greens) to the pot. Stir them into the stew and continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the greens are tender and wilted. Taste the broth and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If the stew is too thin, you can mash a few potato pieces against the side of the pot to help thicken it.
โฑ๏ธ 15 to 20 minutes - 4
Rest and serve: Once cooked, let the Pote Gallego rest off the heat for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld. Traditionally, the broth is served first as a soup, followed by the beans, potatoes, and meats as a second course. Alternatively, serve everything together in deep bowls. Ensure each serving gets a good portion of beans, vegetables, and meats.
โฑ๏ธ 10 to 15 minutes (resting)

- โGrelos (turnip greens) are traditional and impart a slightly bitter, earthy flavor. If unavailable, a mix of kale and collard greens can be used as a substitute, though the flavor profile will differ slightly.
- โPote Gallego is a quintessential winter dish from the Galicia region of Spain, perfect for cold weather.
- โThe stew should have a rich, thick broth and be very hearty. Adjust simmering time and consider mashing some potatoes if a thicker consistency is desired.
