Daylight Come and Me

Want Pork Stew

Serves 10 to 12

Everything in this dish requires only a rough chop as opposed to a dice, making the preparation a snap, and if you utilize the leftover rice from the night before, it becomes a one-pot wonder.

2 tablespoons olive oil

1½ pounds boneless pork loin, cubed

Sea salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

30 ounces black beans, canned and rinsed

2 cups chopped Roma tomatoes (about 3 to 4)

1 cup chopped cherry or red peppers

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 cup chopped red onion

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 plantain, sliced (don’t substitute bananas, they won’t hold up in this dish)

16 cups chicken stock, or vegetable stock

6 cups cooked jasmine rice (p. 176)

Red pepper flakes, as needed

1 Place your 12-quart stockpot on medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When it begins to smoke, add the pork to brown for 2 minutes while seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Then turn each piece to brown all over. Add the beans, vegetables, and spices to the pork and sauté for 5 minutes.

2 Toss the plantain slices into the pork mixture and then add the stock. Raise the temperature to high, bring to a boil, and then lower the heat to medium. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the plantains are soft. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

3 For individual servings, place 1 cup of cooked rice into the center of each bowl and then ladle the stew over the top. Garnish with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
