Ingredients
175g/6oz dried black beans
½ tsp salt
2 bay leaves
½ tsp freshly ground pepper
½ tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp vegetable oil
700g/1½lb pork shoulder, cut into cubes
2-3 jalapeno peppers or other chillies, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tbsp crushed red chilli peppers
2 tbsp blue cornmeal or cornflour
2 tbsp honey
Method
1. Soak the beans overnight in plenty of cold water.
2. Drain, then boil for two minutes with the salt, bay leaves, black pepper, cumin and oregano. Strain, reserving the liquid, and set aside.
3. Heat the oil in a pan (preferably a cauldron hung over a wood fire, wood mark 3!) and add the pork, jalapenos, onion and garlic.
4. In a bowl mix the red chillies, cornmeal or cornflour and the cooking liquid from the beans to make a kind of cowboy roux and stir this into the pan. Add the beans and finally the honey. Simmer for about two hours.
5. Serve as the sun goes down around an open fire, with a bottle of Kentucky Fried Gentleman and someone playing guitar.
