Wash the beans in a strainer with running water until the water comes out clear. Place them in a large pot with 4 cups of water, 1 tbsp of saucepan, the thyme and half of the green pepper. Bring to the boil over strong flame, reduce the flame and let it boil for 3 hours or until the beans are tender.Add more water if it evaporates too much. Strain the cooked beans and set the water aside to boil the rice. Remove 1 tbsp of beans and mash them in a mortar until you get a fine paste. In a large pan with oil, fry the pork until it is crispy and has released all the fat. Credit: Rice Recipe
