Ingredients

2 cupsblack beans, soaked
700gmixed pork (belly and sausage)
to tasteonion and garlic

Instructions

1

Simmer the black beans with the pork belly and sausage low and slow for about 1.5 hours.

2

Continue simmering until the beans are tender and the pork is falling apart.

3

Saute the onion and garlic separately until deeply golden, then stir them through the beans to build a final layer of savoury flavour.

4

Serve hot with rice, fresh orange slices and sauteed greens, since the citrus is there to cut through the richness of the pork.
