Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the black beans under cold water. If using dried beans, soak them overnight in water. Chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper finely. Cut the pork shoulder into small chunks.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Brown the Pork

    Add the pork shoulder chunks to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 4

    Add the Beans and Seasonings

    Stir in the rinsed black beans, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves. Mix well to combine.

  4. 5

    Add Chicken Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover the pot.

  5. 6

    Simmer

    Let the mixture simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the beans are soft. If using canned beans, reduce the simmering time to about 30 minutes.

  6. 7

    Final Touch

    Remove bay leaves and stir in chopped cilantro before serving.
