Frijol Con Puerco (Pork And Black Bean Stew)

• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 2 lb. boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2" cubes
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 medium white onions, thinly sliced
• 1 lb. dried black beans, soaked overnight
• 4 sprigs epazote (available at melissas.com) or cilantro
• 1 lb. plum tomatoes, cored
• 2 habanero chiles, stemmed
• 2 baby radishes, very thinly sliced, for garnish
• Cilantro leaves, to garnish
• Cooked white rice, for serving
• Lime wedges, for serving

1. 1. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a 6-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper, and working in batches, add to pan, and cook, turning as needed, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pork to a plate; cover and set aside. Add two-thirds of the garlic, one-quarter of the onions to pan, and cook, stirring until soft, about 5 minutes. Return pork to pot along with beans, epazote, and 8 cups water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans and pork are tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
2. 2. Meanwhile, heat a 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and chiles, and cook, turning as needed, until blackened all over, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a blender along with remaining garlic and onions, and puree until sauce is smooth. Return skillet to heat and add remaining oil; when the oil is hot, add sauce, and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is slightly reduced, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and keep tomato sauce warm.
3. 3. To serve, transfer beans and pork to a large, deep serving platter and drizzle with tomato sauce. Top with radishes and cilantro leaves, and serve with rice and lime wedges.
