PORK AND BLACK BEAN STEW

Remove the onion, and place into a saucepan. Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil into the skillet, and place over medium-high heat. Add cubed pork, and cook until well browned.
• Meanwhile, pour 3/4 of the black beans along with 1/4 cup water into the bowl of a blender, and pulse until finely chopped, but not quite smooth. Pour whole beans and bean puree into saucepan along with pork cubes, chicken stock, chorizo, and bay leaves.

SLOW COOKER PORK AND BLACK BEAN STEW RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut pork shoulder into 1 1/2 to 2-inch cubes. Season generously with kosher salt. Warm oil in a large cast-iron pot over medium-high heat. I've actually got an All-Clad Delux Slow Cooker with removable cast-iron insert, so I just use that. Brown pork in batches, making sure you don't crowd the pan. Browning just 2 sides is sufficient, and transfer to a plate when finished. This should take 8 to 10 minutes per batch.
• Add onion and garlic to the hot oil with a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and fragrant (4 to 5 minutes). Stir in the dried black beans, bay leaves (or epazote), water and browned pork. Bring the mixture to a boil, then take off the heat. If you're using a slow cooker insert, simply transfer the insert to the slow cooker. If you're using a cast-iron pot, transfer the contents to a slow cooker. Cook on low until the beans and pork are tender (6 to 8 hours). During the last hour of cooking, season to taste with kosher salt (I added about 2 1/2 teaspoons).
