Ingredients 

Beans

  • 1 lb. (450g) Dry beans (kidney, pinto, white, or mixed)
  • 2 quarts (2 liters) Water
  • 1 tbsp. Oil
  • 1 tsp. Salt.

Meat

  • 1 lb. (450g) Pork, cut into chunks
  • 7 oz. (200g) Bacon sliced
  • 14 oz. (400g) Smoked sausages (two types, 7 oz (200g) each)
  • 2 tbsp. Oil for cooking

Aromatics

  • 1 Onion
  • 4 Garlic cloves minced

Liquid

  • 2 cups Water or Broth

Seasoning

  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 2-3 Bay Leaves
  • 2-3 tbsp. Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Rinse beans well. Bring them to a boil in plenty of water, drain, then refill with fresh water. Add oil and salt. Simmer for about 80 minutes, or until the beans begin to soften.
  • Slice smoked sausages and brown them in a hot pan until golden. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, sear pork chunks and sliced bacon until browned. Add them to the pot with the beans.
  • In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion until soft. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Transfer everything into the pot.
  • Add browned sausage, pork, bacon, onion, and garlic to the beans. Pour in 2 cups of water or broth. Add salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Simmer for 30–40 minutes, until tender.
  • Remove bay leaves, stir in fresh parsley, and adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Serve warm with bread, rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side.

Notes

  • You can use any type of beans—kidney beans, white beans, pinto beans, or a mix.
    Broth adds extra flavor compared to water.
    This stew tastes even better the next day.
    For a richer flavor, add smoked paprika or a splash of tomato sauce.
    Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.
