FRIJOL CON PUERCO (PORK AND BLACK BEAN STEW)

Steps:

• 1. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a 6-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper, and working in batches, add to pan, and cook, turning as needed, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes.

Return skillet to heat and add remaining oil; when the oil is hot, add sauce, and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is slightly reduced, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and keep tomato sauce warm. 3. To serve, transfer beans and pork to a large, deep serving platter and drizzle with tomato sauce.
