1

Rinse the pinto beans under cold water and soak them in a large bowl with enough water to cover the beans. Let them soak for at least 6 hours or overnight if possible.

2

Drain the soaked beans and place them in a pot with 4 cups of fresh water. Bring the beans to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour until tender.

3

While the beans are cooking, cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil, and brown the pork pieces for about 5-7 minutes on each side.

4

After the pork is browned, dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until they become fragrant and translucent.

5

Add the cooked pork and onion mixture to the pot with the beans, along with the bay leaves and cumin. Stir everything to combine well.

6

Continue to simmer the mixture uncovered for another 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and thicken slightly.

7

Once done, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

8

Remove from heat and discard the bay leaves before serving.
