Ingredients
Beans
Meats
Vegetables and Aromatics
Spices
Preparation
1. Soak the Beans
Rinse the black beans under cold water and soak them in 6 cups of water overnight or for at least 8 hours.
2. Prepare the Meats
Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks. Slice the chorizo and smoked sausage into rounds. Cut the bacon into small pieces.
Cooking
4. Cook the Bacon
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
5. Sauté Aromatics
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
6. Brown the Meats
Add the pork shoulder chunks to the pot and brown on all sides. Then add the chorizo and smoked sausage, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
7. Add the Beans and Water
Drain the soaked beans and add them to the pot along with the reserved soaking water. Stir in the paprika, cumin, bay leaves, and black pepper.
8. Simmer the Stew
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until the beans and meats are tender. Stir occasionally and add water if necessary.
9. Season and Serve
Once cooked, remove the bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and accompanied by rice or orange slices.
