PORK, BLACK BEAN, AND RICE CASSEROLE



Pork, Black Bean, and Rice Casserole image

Hubby and I go grocery shopping only once a week because of the stay-at-home order due to the Coronavirus. We got lucky and found a 25-pound pork shoulder roast for $0.59 per pound! Though it's only the 2 of us at home, we could not pass up such a great bargain. We cut the roast up into 2-pound chunks and individually vacuum packed them with our FoodSaver. I made this with items in my pantry and it is filling and delicious.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium onion, peeled and diced
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
1 large tomato, chopped
3 cups dutch brown beans (or 2 (15-oz) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained)

Steps:

  • 1. Sauté the salt pork in a skillet until soft and transparent. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic to the skillet, and stir well. Add the tomato and cook about 3 minutes or until the tomato is soft. Add the beans, water, tomato sauce, ginger, pepper, beef bouillon and bay leaf. Bring to a brisk boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 20 minutes. The pork tends to be salty, but you can add salt at this point, if preferred.

Tips:

  • Use dried beans for the best flavor and texture. If using canned beans, rinse them well before using.
  • Soak the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking. This will help them to cook more evenly and quickly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for cooking the beans. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the beans from burning.
  • Bring the beans to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until they are tender. Add more water as needed to keep the beans covered.
  • Add the rice to the pot during the last 20 minutes of cooking. This will ensure that the rice is cooked through but not mushy.
  • Season the beans and rice with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add vegetables, such as onions, celery, and carrots, for extra flavor.
  • Serve the beans and rice hot, with a side of cornbread or salad.

Conclusion:

Dutch brown beans and rice is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
