Sofrito
half a bunch coriander, stems removed, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons water
Puerto Rican Beans
3 tablespoons canola oil
half sofrito recipe, above
2-3 sliced smoked ham shanks
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
1.5 teaspoons cumin
1.5 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika
.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons salt

1 29 oz can pink beans
half 28 oz can diced tomatoes
bay leaf

1
Whirl the sofrito ingredients in the blender until they form a smooth sauce. Freeze half of the batch for another time.
2
In a large saute pan, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the half recipe of sofrito and the ham hocks, and cook for a few minutes. Add the onions, green peppers and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent but not colored.
3
Add the tomato paste, cumin, oregano, paprika, cayenne and salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until the mixture is well-amalgamated.
4
Stir in the beans and tomatoes, and add a little water so that the beans are like a stew, but not too soupy. Tuck the bay leaf in and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the green pepper is tender. Taste for seasoning.
5
Just before serving, take out the sliced smoked shanks and separate the meat from the bones and fat. Cut the meat into small chunks and stir it into the beans.
6
Serve with plain steamed rice. Enjoy!
