Colombian Frijoles image

Every Sunday, my Colombian friends get together and have a big cook-out for lunch, and they share in fellowship. I like observing the merriment. They make group cooking a lot of fun. Today, they made a kidney bean stew which tastes absolutely wonderful. I think the flavour was in the lard. This is one of those dishes that tastes better if kept for the next day.

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

500 g red beans (soaked overnight) or 500 g kidney beans (soaked overnight)
300 g fatty pork knuckle
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lard (from the pork knuckle)
3 -4 tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon cumin
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
salt

Steps:

  • Cut the pork knuckle into little pieces, the size of your thumbnail.
  • In a non stick pan, fry the pork until the pieces are crisp, and golden brown in colour.
  • Remove from pan, and drain.
  • Rinse the beans and run them through your hands to make sure that there are no small stones or bits of earth among them.
  • Put the beans, pork fritters and lard into the pot and add enough water to cover the beans.
  • Boil for about 2 hours stirring occasionally every 20 minutes, covered until they are tender, but not soft.
  • In a separate pan, sauté the green onions and tomatoes for about 8- 10 minutes, until you get a nice thick sauce and all the tomatoes are dissolved.
  • Remove from fire and add the tomato sauce to the bean stew.
  • Add the salt, cumin and cilantro, and simmer for another 30 minutes, adding water if necessary.
  • Serve with rice.
