This hearty stew features tender pork shoulder simmered with black beans, tomatoes, and aromatic vegetables like onions and bell peppers. Flavored with garlic, bacon, ham, and a blend of spices including cumin, coriander, and chili pepper, the dish is finished with fresh cilantro. The slow-cooking process results in a rich, comforting stew with a slightly spicy kick.

The Brazilian Black Bean Stew, a hearty dish with pork shoulder, black beans, and aromatic herbs, pairs well with a medium-bodied Pinot Noir. The wine's bright acidity and subtle earthy notes complement the stew's rich flavors, while its light tannins balance the dish's texture. Alternatively, a full-bodied Greco white wine with its crisp acidity can cut through the richness of the pork and beans.
