MEXICAN PORK POT PIE WITH BLACK BEANS AND CORNBREAD CRUST



Mexican Pork Pot Pie With Black Beans and Cornbread Crust image

The pork mixture can be made a day in advance and refrigerated. Cooking time does not include cooking pork. You can also make this with ground beef. This is spicy, if you want to reduce the heat, then omit the jalapeño or Tabasco sauce. This is a really tasty dish, and the cornmeal topping just by itself is good baked in an 8x8-inch buttered baking dish, I baked mine for about 25 minutes at 350 degrees!

SPICY PORK BURGERS WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHUTNEY

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
3 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cinnamon stick
3/4 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dried apricots, halved
1/2 cup chopped dried figs
1/2 cup cognac
3 large red onions, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
2 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 pounds ground pork shoulder
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
8 slices American cheese
4 seeded hamburger rolls, halved
16 to 20 Bibb lettuce leaves

Steps:

  • For the dried fruit chutney: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it begins to smoke lightly, then add the onions and garlic and sprinkle with the salt and red pepper flakes. Cook until the onions and garlic become translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the vinegar, sugar, cloves and cinnamon stick. Stir to blend and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes to let the vinegar mellow. Add the raisins, apricots, figs, cognac and 1 cup water and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
  • For the black beans: Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the onions, oil and a generous pinch of salt. Add the sugar and cook until the onions are caramelized and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and beans and cook so the ingredients meld together, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • For the spicy pork burgers: Break up the meat in a medium bowl and spread it up on the sides so that the seasoning can really permeate the meat. Add the sherry, soy sauce, Worcestershire and cayenne. Mix with your hands to make sure all of the flavors get integrated but do not overmix. (The more you work the meat, the tougher the burger.) Form the meat into 4 even patties about 3/4-inch thick.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, remove the skillet from the heat and arrange the patties in a single layer in the skillet. Return the skillet to the heat and cook, undisturbed, for 5 to 6 minutes. Rotate the patties a quarter turn and cook until cooked through, 3 to 5 more minutes. Use a metal spatula to flip the patties on their second sides and cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and place 2 slices of American cheese on each patty. Let the patties rest in the skillet so the cheese melts.
  • Arrange the roll bottoms on a work surface and top with lettuce. Top the lettuce with the patties, spoon some of the chutney and black beans on each and finish with the roll tops.

Tips for Cooking Pork and Black Beans

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder is a good choice because it is relatively inexpensive and has a good amount of fat, which will help to keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Soak the black beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible.
  • Season the pork and beans well: Use a combination of spices, such as chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt and pepper, to flavor the dish.
  • Cook the pork and beans slowly: This will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the pork and black beans with your favorite sides: Rice, tortillas, or cornbread are all good options.

Conclusion

Pork and black beans are a delicious and versatile combination that can be used in a variety of dishes. Whether you are making a stew, a chili, or a soup, these two ingredients are sure to please. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
