Tonight I did remember to take pictures. A while ago, I had made my Mom's black bean and pork loin with bell peppers dish. She nowadays, she always uses boneless pork because she said that my brother is too lazy to deal with bones. Nick liked the dish the first time I made it, but thought that he would like it more with bone in. It really does turn out better with bone in. I had gotten a strip of pork short ribs from Sprouts. I sliced the ribs, threw them in a pot with a little bit of salt and pepper until they were browned. Using a premade black bean-garlic sauce, I braised the ribs with red and green bell pepper for about 2.5 hours while I went for a run and did my nails. Holy moly, the dish turns out way better with bone in. Normally my Mom and I don't use red bell peppers because they don't hold up to the braising as well, but I had them in my fridge from the week before and wanted to use them before they went bad.
