Pork and Beans

Source: Yummy Magazine June 2007 Issue


I actually have tried this one last year and has been cooking it once in a while before I even started a food blog. Though lately since I've been trying several other dishes, I have completely forgotten about this yummy dish. Will post pictures of this one soon.

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 med sized onion, chopped
• 2-3 siling labuyo. chopped (reduce to 1/2 or 1 sili if serving to kids or adults who don't like it spicy)
• 200-grams ground lean pork
• 3 cups coconut milk
• 1 kilo Baguio/ French beans, washed, sliced into pieces barely 1/2 inch wide
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Saute garlic and onion in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add siling labuyo and the ground lean pork, stirring as you lightly brown the meat.
2. Add the coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a steady simmer. Once you see the oil separating from the milk, turn the flame to medium low and add the beans.
3. Let simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, until the beans are tender yt still firm. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
