Pork with Black Beans
In this recipe for pork with black beans, we use Jamonilla®, green bell pepper, fresh herbs, and canned black beans. Some versions suggest blending the mixture, so it becomes more soup-like, but in this recipe, we keep the black beans intact, which gives the dish a thick mixture.
Jamonilla® with black beans is the perfect go-to dish either as a meal itself, or as a side dish with your favorite Mexican dishes such as tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or nachos.
The dish is ready in 30 minutes, however, if you want to use dry beans, you must soak them first, and make them ready the day before use.
