I adopted this recipe September 2006. It's great on it's own. For a lower fat version I used Smoked Pork Bones instead of the Meat. Great served with a Mexican entree and rice.
Ingredients:
2 cups dry pinto beans
water
1/2 lb meat (meats should include only one of the following ( saltpork, ham hock)
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon red chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Directions:
1. Add salt to taste if other than Salt Pork is used (optional).
2. Soak beans in water overnight.
3. Add salt pork, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano; simmer on low heat at least 4 hours or water is absorbed and mixture is thick.
