A classic Yucatan Pork and Bean dish I saw Rick Bayless make.

First some pork shoulder cut up into nice size chunks, browned on the stove in CI, a mix of mostly Black Beans and some extra Pinto's I had on hand.
Beans been simmering for about two hours in the CI on the WSM at 350-375.
Browned pork shoulder added to the beans until they are fork tender. Nice fresh Episoto added with the meat

A white onion sliced and fire roasted tomatoes in the FP, onions on in some EVOO till browned then the sauce added and to simmer until reduced by about half, a Jalapeno sliced in half to marinate in the sauce for the cook

Pork done and fork tender and onions on in another pot for the rice

Juice from the black bean broth used for the rice

Tomato Sauce done and about 3/4 added to the beans and mixed in

Created my own version of a salsa as an side, diced green pepper, radish lime, sun dried tomato and Cilantro

Added some fresh mango too

The plate, it was really good

They do something similar when they make rice in Cuba, Arroz con Moros y Christianos (Rice of Moors and Christians). They use the juice and some of the beans to make the rice, as well as a sofrito of onions, garlic and peppers. We fell in love with it at a restaurant in Havana last year and make it all the time.

Great looking cook my friend!!

You are right on about this recipe being a Yucatan dish. We spent a week in Mahahual, Mexico before
heading to Belize. I ate this most mornings for breakfast along with a couple of eggs and some
tortillas, you just made me really hungry for this again. Well done sir!
