Handy Hint

This takes a while but makes a lot!

Method

1. Pour boiling water over the black beans and let them soak while you prepare the rest of the stew.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and brown the pork shoulder. Remove the meat and add the onions, browning those as well. Add the garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes, adding salt to taste.
3. Add the pork shoulder to the pot again, and add the rest of the meat and enough water to cover. add the bay leaves and simmer everything for an hour.
4. Drain the black beans and add them to the stew, simmering until they are soft - about 1½ hours.
5. Add the tomato and some salt, and simmer until the meat begins to fall off the ham hock, which should take a further 2-3 hours.
