Frijoles Negro Charro / Cowboy Black Beans
Black Beans Stewed with Smoked Pork Jowls, Roasted Veggies and Spices
1lb of Pintos, soak overnight
1lb or your favorite smoked pork, bacon, jowls or whatever.
1/4C bacon grease, lard or EVOO
Approx 4C each chicken broth and water, equal parts to cover beans
1 large onion, quartered
1-2 large Roma tomato
1 large Jalapeno chile
1-1/2 Bell peppers chopped
3-5 garlic cloves
2T salt
1T paprika
1-1/2T each Guajillo, Ancho and Arbol chile powders
1t each granulated onion and garlic
1t cumin
Prep 1lb of black beans.
I soak my black beans overnight, then drain and save the liquid.
Then I cover them again and boil them for 5 minutes and again save the liquid.
I use this liquid to make Frijoles Negro Charro / Cowboy Black Beans
Roast some onion, bell peppers, Jalapeno, tomatoes and garlic.
Then chop it all up and set aside till the beans are almost done before adding back.
Add enough chicken stock to just cover the beans, then enough water to bring it a few inches over.
Add some type of diced pork, bacon, jowls, salt pork or whatever you prefer
Spice to taste, bring to a rolling boil, then lower heat to a fast simmer for several hours (4-6 hours) and the beans are tender.
Add back the veggies and finish
