Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 (12 ounce) pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 1 (19 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • ¼ cup water

  • 3 chorizo sausages, cut into 1/2-inch thick pieces

  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock

  • 2 bay leaves

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion softens and turns translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer onion to a saucepan. Pour remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil into the skillet; place over medium-high heat. Add cubed pork; cook until well browned.

  2. Meanwhile, add 3/4 black beans and 1/4 cup water to a blender; pulse until finely chopped, but not quite smooth. Transfer bean purée to the saucepan; stir in whole black beans, pork cubes, chorizo, chicken stock, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper before serving.
