Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 serrano pepper, finely chopped
- 1 TBSP red wine vinegar
- 1 TBSP paprika
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into bite-size chunks
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 6 cups water
- 1 pound dried black beans, thoroughly rinsed
- FOR SERVING:
- steamed white rice

Directions
- In a large bowl use your hands to mix together the ground pork, garlic, serrano, vinegar, paprika, cinnamon, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until well combined.
- Heat the ground pork mixture in a dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat, breaking up the pork as it cooks, until browned, about 7 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked ground pork to a plate and set aside.
- Add the pork shoulder pieces to a large bowl then drizzle on the olive oil and sprinkle on the smoked paprika and 1 tsp salt. Stir to coat the pork pieces evenly.
- Keeping the pot over medium-high heat, add the pork shoulder pieces to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 6 minutes.
- Add onion and cooked ground pork into the pot with the pork pieces cook while stirring for about 1 minute.
- Pour the water into the pot and bring to a boil.
- When the water begins to boil place a lid on the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low then simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Take the lid off the pot and stir in the beans then increase the heat back to medium-high and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat back to medium-low and continue to cook the stew with the lid off, stirring occasionally, until beans and meat are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Taste the stew and season with salt & pepper as needed.
- Serve the stew with steamed white rice and orange slices on the side.
