Pinto beans with meat

Pinto beans with meat

Ingredients:
1 kg meat (beef or pork cut in big chunks)
1 kg pinto beans
1 big onion thickly cut
3 medium peeled potatoes, cut in thick slices
2 tomatoes
100ml tomato juice
1/4 bunch parsley thinly cut
60 ml olive oil
Salt
Pepper
(cinnamon stick and bay leaf: optional)

Preparation:
We wash the meat and we let it dry.  In a deep pot we heat the olive oil and brown the meat from both sides.  We add the onion, the cinnamon stick and the bay leaf and saute for a few minutes.  We add salt to taste and hot water, we cover the pot and let the meat half cook in medium heat.  We open the lid and add the potatoes, the beans, the tomatoes peeled and crushed, the tomato juice and the parsley.  We salt lightly, lower the heat and allow cook till our food is done.  We take off the heat, we add pepper and let food absorb the liquid for about 15 minutes before we serve.  PS: I had some carrots so I just added them too.

Itadakimasu!
