Ingredients

2 cups dried black beans

1 tbs lard or vegetable oil

1 1/2 lbs boneless pork, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 medium white onion, finely chopped

2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

12 fresh chopped epazote leaves, or 1 tsp dried epazote

1 tbs chopped fresh cilantro

2 bay leaves

1/2 habanero chile, seeded (wear protective gloves)

1 tsp salt, or to taste

Directions

Rinse and pick over dried beans.

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

Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the lard or oil and brown the pork. I seasoned my pork with a little extra seasoning to layer the flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook, stirring, until onions are softened about 5 minutes.

Add 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. When the beans are tender, add the pork mixture to the beans.

Cook uncovered until liquid thickens and the flavors blend, about 20-25 minutes.

Remove the bay leaves and habanero chili.

Adjust seasoning.

Serve.

I just made this and it is very good. I didnt have a habenero so i used 2 red jalapenos and some habenero sauce.(Yucatan brand I think)
The cooked pork and onion mixture alone was awesome. Love the spice and the heat. Thanks for posting.
