Ingredients

    • 1/2 lb salt pork (optional)
    • 1 large onion, chopped
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 tsp epazote
    • 1 tbsp crumbled avocado leaves
    • 5 cups water
    • 4 cups beef or chicken broth

Instructions

If using pork, cook over medium high heat in a 4 or 5 qt. pan until fat begins to melt.

Sauté onion and garlic.

Sort beans and discard debris; rinse well. Add beans and epazote to pan and pour in broth and water. Raise heat to high and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours (or until beans are tender).
