Make Costeletas de Porco com Feijão (Pork Chops with Beans)

Recipe Name: Costeletas de Porco com Feijão (Pork Chops with Beans)

Ingredients:
- 4 pork chops
- 2 cups cooked beans (any variety)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Season the pork chops: Sprinkle salt, pepper, paprika, and dried oregano on both sides of the pork chops. Rub the seasonings into the meat and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Heat the olive oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

3. Sear the pork chops: Place the seasoned pork chops in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.

4. Sauté the onions and garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté them until they become translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

5. Add the beans: Add the cooked beans to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Return the pork chops: Place the seared pork chops back into the skillet with the beans. Spoon some of the bean mixture over the pork chops.

7. Simmer and finish cooking: Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the pork chops simmer in the bean mixture for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender and fully cooked.

8. Serve: Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Spoon the beans over the pork chops and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

9. Enjoy: Serve the Costeletas de Porco com Feijão hot with a side of rice or salad. Enjoy this delicious and hearty meal!
