Preparation Shell and wash the beans. Put some water in a pot and bring to the boil. Put the pork rind in and let it boil for a few minutes. Remove it and scrape off the rind. Cut it into strips of about 1 centimetre each.

Wash the tomatoes, peel them, take out the seeds and cut into small pieces. Peel the garlic and the onion (or leek) and dice them together. Put into an earthen pot having a lid as well, the oil, the shelled beans, then cut up the pork rind and the garlic, onion and tomatoes. Salt and pepper and cover with enough water up to two centimetres above the top.

Mix well, and then cover the pot and put it into the oven pre-heated at 180 ° for about 2 ½ hours without opening the oven door. Serve hot at the table in the earthen pot.
