We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

An active faith can give thanks for a promise, though it be not as yet performed, knowing that God’s bonds are as good as ready money.
Matthew Henry

INGREDIENTS

3 c Dried black beans
Water
1 lb Carne seca (sun-cured salted beef)
2 lb Raw smoked tongue
1/2 lb Linguica defumada (Portuguese sausage)
1/2 lb Chuck beef
1/2 lb Salt pork
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 lg Cloves garlic, chopped
2 ts Shortening

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash the beans well & soak them overnight in water to cover. Soak the dried
beef separately in water to cover. Drain the beans. Add 6 cups water &
cook, covered, adding water as needed, until the beans are tender, or about
2 1/2 hours.  As soon as the beans are cooking, begin adding the other
ingredients. Cut the carne seca into 1 1/2" squares & add to the beans.
Peel the tongue & cut it into large cubes. Cover with water & bring to a
boil. Simmer 2 minutes, drain, & add to beans. Prick the sausages with a
fork, cover with water, boil a few minutes, drain, & add to the beans. Cut
the chuck in half & add to the beans. Cut the salt pork into 1/2" slices &
add to the beans. Season the stew with salt & pepper. When the beans are
tender, brown the garlic lightly in the shortening. Add about 1 cup of the
beans, mash, & return to the large pot of beans. Adjust the seasonings.
Remove the pieces of meat to a hot platter & turn the beans into a chafing
dish or bowl. Serve with braised pork loin, collards, onions in sauce
(recipes below), sweetened orange slices, & hot rice. Cook the rice
according to package directions, adding 1 1/2 Tbsp. shortening & 1/2 tsp.
vinegar for each 2 cups uncooked, long-grain rice.

A Message from our Provider:

“A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride. #C.S. Lewis”
