2 Tbsp (30 mL) canola oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 stalks celery, sliced
2 sweet bell peppers, seeded & diced
1 large or 2 small yellow onion, chopped
1 1/2 lb (750 g) boneless pork shoulder, cut into large cubes
1/2 lb (250 g) chorizo sausage, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) slices (see notes)
400 to 500 g smoked boneless ham, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes

For Garnish

2 oranges, cut into wedges

Directions

In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil over medium and sauté onions, garlic, celery and pepper just until softened and fragrant. Transfer to a large casserole dish or crockpot.
Add remaining oil to skillet and brown the cubed pork shoulder, chorizo and ham in batches, placing in the casserole dish or crockpot.
Add the tomatoes, broth, bay leaves, beans, orange zest and juice to the casserole dish or crockpot. Stir lightly, just to combine ingredients.
Cover casserole dish and place in a 350°F (180°C) oven for 1 1/2 hours. If using a crockpot, set on Medium for 3 to 4 hours.

Notes

The chorizo sausage can be spicy; if you want a less spicy stew, use any smoked pork sausage.
Two 14 oz (398 mL) cans of no salt added black beans, drained & rinsed, yields 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) cooked black beans. To cook up a batch of dry beans, check out our website for more info!
