Print Recipe
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg Dried Pinto Beans
  • 250 g Cooked BBQ pork cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 2 x 140 oz cans of plum tomatoes
  • 6 cloves Garlic - crushed
  • 2 Large onions chopped
  • 50 g Brown Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Hot Pepper Sauce to taste can be omitted
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Soak the beans overnight in a big bowl, covered with water.
  2. Drain the beans and put them into a large saucepan.
  3. Cover with at least an inch of fresh water. Bring to boil.
  4. Fry the onions and garlic. Mix all the ingredients (except the salt – as this will make the beans tough and the pork) add to the beans and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  5. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer for at least 2 hours until the beans are tender. Add the cooked pork in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  6. Add more water as needed.
  7. Season with salt & pepper and hot pepper sauce to taste at the end of cooking.
