Brown the pork sausage in a cast iron pot over medium high heat, and set aside. Leave the fat in the pot and use it to brown the cubed pork.
Cut the pork into 1 inch cubes, pat dry with a paper towel, and brown in the same hot cast iron pot. Brown the meat in batches and set aside with the sausage.
Turn down the heat and in the same pot, saute the onion until soft and translucent.
Add tomato, garlic, and paprika and mix well.
Return the browned pork and the bones to the pot and cover with bone broth. Add the vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for an hour.
Prepare the vegetables while the pot is simmering.
Once the stew has been cooking for an hour, add pumpkin, green beans, carrots and pears. Simmer for another 20 minutes.
Add the beans, crushed almonds, wine, saffron and breadcrumbs. Stir well and taste. Season with salt as needed- start with a tablespoon and adjust to your liking.
At this point, adjust liquid if needed. Add bone broth or water, if the stew is too thick. Cook for another 20 minutes, until pork and vegetables are very fork tender.
If your stew is too soupy, bring to a boil for 5 minutes over high heat, uncovered. This stew can remain on the stovetop or even in the oven on low until you are ready to serve. The flavors only improve with more cooking time.
Remove the bones and taste once again and adjust salt if needed.
Serve in bowls with a sprig of mint and a drizzle of olive oil.
