Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Preheat an ovenproof saute pan with a lid over high heat.
  3. Working in batches, brown the pork on all sides in 2 tablespoons oil, then transfer to a bowl.
  4. Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in the pan, then cook the onions, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and smoked paprika and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  5. Add the chopped tomatoes, black-eyed peas, coconut water and the pork and bring to a simmer, stirring well. Cover and transfer to the oven. Bake, stirring occasionally, until pork is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  6. Stir in the chocolate until it has melted. Serve with the basmati rice, avocado slices and cilantro.
