Ingredients

  • 2 kg pork, cut into even sized pieces
  • 1 12 kg small white beans, soaked overnight
  • 375 ml tomato juice
  • 1 finely medium chopped onion
  • 125 ml olive oil or 125 ml corn oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • some celery

Method

  • Put the beans in a sauce pan with fresh water to cover, boil for ten minutes and then drain.
  • Cook in fresh water (in a pressure cooker if you have one) with some soup celery until about half tender.
  • Remember not to add salt- otherwise the beans will take forever to cook.
  • Drain the beans and discard the celery.
  • Meanwhile heat the oil in a heavy saucepan and brown the meat and the onions.
  • Add the tomato juice, salt and pepper and simmer over low heat until the meat is nearly done.
  • Add the beans and simmer gently until the meat and the beans are tender.
  • Serve hot with bread.
  • If you need more liquid, top it up with more tomato juice.
  • A generous spoonful of tomato paste enhances the colour.
