Start by preparing the moro with black beans and rice.

Gather the ingredients: rice, black beans, green bell pepper, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, olive oil, and water.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil to a large pot (caldero).

Add the mashed garlic and let it brown slightly.

Once the garlic is browned, add the chopped vegetables (green bell pepper and onion) and sauté for 5 minutes until they soften and some water evaporates.

Add the black beans and let them sauté for about 3 minutes.

Next, add the rice and paprika, stir a little, then add water.

Bring to a boil on high heat until the water evaporates, then cover and reduce the heat to low (set to 3 on a scale of 9).

While the rice cooks, prepare the pork.

Season the pork with mashed garlic, salt, black pepper, brown sugar, tomato sauce, and oregano.

Optionally add a splash of wine or substitute with water or sour orange juice.

In a hot pot, add approximately 3 tablespoons of oil and the brown sugar until it caramelizes.

Add the pork to the pot without the vegetables and let it sauté for 10 minutes.

Add the tomato sauce to the pork and stir.

Finally, add the chopped vegetables and let them sauté for a bit before adding water and covering the pot.
