Recipe-Ingrediants

A cold weather dish that is pure comfort food, there's nothing more delicious than a plate of pork with beans. We'll pair it with pickles and wine, and thank the Lord for this incredibly tasty meal today!

Ingredients:

1 kg pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized pieces

250g dried white beans

250g black-eyed peas

2 ripe tomatoes, grated

1/2 tsp tomato paste (optional)

2 carrots, sliced

3 celery stalks, finely chopped

Juice and zest of 1 lemon

100g olive oil

1 dry onion, finely chopped

1 leek (white part only), finely chopped

Salt, pepper,

oregano, bay leaf

Directions

Instructions: Soak the beans overnight. In a pot, bring the beans to a boil, skim the foam, and pre-cook them for 45-50 minutes. We don't want to fully cook them since they will finish cooking with the pork. In another pot, heat the olive oil and lightly saute the onion and leek. Add the pork and saute on all sides. Add the celery, spices, and a little boiling water, and lower the heat. Let it simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, until the pork is tender. Once the pork is tender, add the beans, carrots, lemon juice and zest, and enough water to cover them. Let everything simmer together for about 40 minutes until the beans are cooked and the sauce is thickened. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and freshly ground pepper. Enjoy!
