Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Prepare the hogao by heating 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or bacon drippings in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook onions until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the tomatoes break down and are kind of mushy, about 15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat vegetable oil over low heat, then add rice and beans, stirring often to prevent sticking.
  5. Once hogao is prepared, stir one cup into the rice and beans, season with salt to taste.
  6. Once heated through, stir in cilantro.
  7. Prick chorizo (or other sausage) with a fork in several places.
  8. Place chorizo in a skillet, half covered with water; cook, turning several times, until water boils out.
  9. Add morcilla (or other sausage) and brown all the sausages in the fat left in the pan from the chorizo.
  10. While the sausages are cooking, scramble the eggs, and cook the pork loin, separately, in butter.
  11. Serve with extra hogao (this recipe makes extra), chopped cilantro, lime wedges (delicious on the pork loin); also arepas and queso fresco; and hot chocolate, to drink.
