Southwestern Pinto Bean And Pork Stew Recipe

ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds pork loin, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound pinto beans, soaked, drained and rinsed
8 cups chicken stock
1 pound tomatillos, husks removed and rinsed
1 jalapeno pepper, stem removed
1 bunch cilantro, stems and leaves
2 limes, juiced

Garnishes
sour cream
fresh cilantro sprigs
diced avocado
diced tomato
sliced radishes

directions

Heat oil in 8-quart stock pot. Add pork, cumin, salt and pepper. Saute until pork is browned, about 5-10 minutes.

Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add pinto beans and stir to coat with oil. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender.

In a food processor, puree tomatillos, jalapeno pepper, cilantro and lime juice.

Add to stock pot and simmer for an additional 1/2 hour, to blend flavors.

Top with sour cream, cilantro sprigs, diced avocado, tomatoes or sliced radishes.
