Step 1
In a large pot, heat 2 tbsp oil over medium-high. Add the 1 lb pork chunks and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
Reduce heat to medium. Add the 1 chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves; cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Return pork to pot. Add the 1 cup tomato sauce and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Step 4
Add the 1 cup soaked beans. Cover and simmer gently until beans are tender and pork is falling apart, about 1.5 hours.
Step 5
Stir in the 2 sliced red chili peppers and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Simmer uncovered for 10 more minutes until slightly thickened. Serve hot with bread rolls.
