Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add pork cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on edges, 6–7 minutes. Don't wait for full color.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in minced garlic and smoked paprika. Cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in chicken broth and add black beans and bay leaves. Stir once.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes until pork is tender and liquid reduces slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  6. Step 6

    Discard bay leaves. Serve hot over rice or with crusty bread.
