Contrary to the traditional dish, my pork and beans recipe is not sweet but super savory. To me, the perfect combination of beans and pork must always go with rice, in this case yellow saffron like. Finally, what’s better than a tropical salad with a simple vinaigrette and avocado. I am giving you the three recipes, so what are you waiting for? Make it!
