Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pounds pork shoulder, diced
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 red onions, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Six 14-ounce cans chopped tomatoes
Four 14-ounce cans black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
2 cups coconut water
6 ounces dark chocolate
1/2 pound basmati rice, cooked
4 small avocados, sliced
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Preheat an ovenproof saute pan with a lid over high heat.
  • Working in batches, brown the pork on all sides in 2 tablespoons oil, then transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in the pan, then cook the onions, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and smoked paprika and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, black-eyed peas, coconut water and the pork and bring to a simmer, stirring well. Cover and transfer to the oven. Bake, stirring occasionally, until pork is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Stir in the chocolate until it has melted. Serve with the basmati rice, avocado slices and cilantro.
