Total Calories: 357

Ingredients

2 cups dried black beans
1 tablespoon lard or vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic (large), finely chopped
12 , fresh chopped epazote, leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried epazote
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 bay leaves
1/2 , habanero chile kimmy, , seeded (wear protective gloves)
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Directions:

1. Pick over dried beans carefully and remove any pebbles or debris. Place in a large strainer or colander and rinse thoroughly under cold tap water.

2. Put the beans in a large pot with 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the beans are tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

3. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the lard or oil and brown the pork. Add the remaining ingredients and cook, stirring, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. When the beans are tender, add the pork mixture to the beans. Cook, uncovered, until the liquid thickens and the flavors blend, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and habanero chile. Adjust seasoning. Serve hot.
