(Frijoles y Puerco con Chili)
Category: Bean Dishes
Chili beans are among the favorite Mexican- American dishes in the United States that probably came across the Mexican border via Texas, where the beans are made with pork or beef. The beans in this hearty, full-meal dish are cooked with chunks of tender braised pork in a spicy tomato sauce of chili powder, herbs, and spices.
1 pound cooked Basic Pot Beans using red beans
3 pounds boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large white onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic (large), thinly sliced
3 medium tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 large jalapeño peppers, seeded, veins removed, and chopped
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup purchased chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican variety preferred), crumbled
1 cup canned beef broth
1. Prepare the red beans. While they are cooking, pat the pork dry with paper towels. Mix the flour and salt. Dust the pork lightly with the flour and shake off excess.
2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and brown the pork, in batches, without crowding, 3 to 4 minutes, then transfer to a bowl. Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is limp, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except the broth. Bring to a boil, stirring, and cook 1 minute, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
3. Return the pork to the pan with the accumulated juices. Add the broth, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender, about 1 hour.
4. When the beans are tender and their broth has thickened, stir the beans into the pork. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, 8 to 10 minutes to blend flavors. Adjust seasoning and serve.
