SUNDAY BEANS
This recipe is authentic to the Caribbean larder: beans, garlic, cumin, citrus and meat, bubbling together on the stove. Of course, rice and beans are served across Latin America, in different variations, with different beans, for different reasons. Adding a further delight to the plate would not be in error: some fried pork chops, say, or a dish of fast and flavorful roast chicken, dusted liberally with cumin and served beneath a shower of lime juice, fresh chopped cilantro and garlic.

Steps:
- Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and, a few moments later, the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fat has begun to render out of the bacon and the meat is beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the onion, garlic and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the cumin and coriander. They will absorb the heated oil in the pan and grow fragrant. Stir for 1 to 2 minutes and then add the juices. Raise the heat to high until the mixture begins to simmer, then lower the heat and reduce to one half of its volume. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
- Stir in the beans. After 5 minutes stir again, then taste and adjust the seasonings. (The mixture can keep, softly bubbling on the stove, for hours. Add a little juice or water if necessary. Stir occasionally.) Serve with white rice.
