Method

  1. 1 Soak black beans for 8 hours, then cook them with epazolate for 60 minutes.
  2. 2 Epazote is an essential ingredient in Yucatán black bean soup; its absence would render the dish incomplete.
  3. 3 Add the pork chunks to the beans and cook for another 60 minutes until both are tender.
  4. 4 Grill the tomatoes and peppers on a dry cast iron pan until the skins are charred black, then chop them finely.
  5. 5 Mix roasted tomatoes with red onion, lime, and herbs to make a fresh xnipec sauce.
  6. 6 Scoop the beans and meat onto hot rice and serve with fresh sauce.
