Try to make that, there are several recipes on the net. Beans with tomato are child's play compared to it

Just the kind of thing I had in mind. Pork shoulder is cheap, and a slow cooker can be very efficient. What's more, "The cowboy has deep historic roots tracing back to Spain", according to
Cowboy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I guess I can weave the pigs into the story somehow.
Lots of recipes from authentic-looking American country folk
. I've never seen cornbread, and it looks like it can go badly wrong. I'm going to try it on myself first. Somewhere I've got a bag of cornmeal, and occasionally I wonder what can be done with it that isn't in the vicinity of Mexico.Pork and beans with bread seems to be a common theme throughout much of the world. Fat or oil relieves the stodginess and carries the flavour into broken beans, and the more beany-tasting beans nead salt and robustly-flavoured diversions. Bread soaks it all up. Perfect with salad or a plate of cabbage.
I should ask my Slovakian neighbours. Lots of woodland and arable. Perfect for pigs and bread, but I don't know about beans.
that depends.
the 'Great Store of Cowboy Knowledge'
is held in place by one of the most Venerable, (and Revered)
of American Institutions.
that would be Holywood.
usually referred to as Hollywood.
you might have noticed in some movies,
at the 'tradin post,
three items were purchased. (besides firearms)
these were -
1. coffee
2. bacon
3. flour
in other movies,
these three items were purchased (besides firearms)
1. coffee
2. bacon
3. beans
so only half of all the Cowboys ate beans ...
no Real Amer-I-Can Cowboy Ever ate toast.

Here's a good site. It's about Texas so it must be true.

Here you have a good recipe. The most important thing is to use good cured/smoked meats, put the beans covered in water the day before cooking it, cook it slowly along 2 or 3 hours.... and you're done!
Some quite good recipes:

I feel obliged to say that to attempt to cook a fabada with the wrong kind of beans is bound to be a disaster. Even if you got the right beans is not easy to get it right at the first try. Too much emphasis on recipes and not enough on the right ingredients. I go about things the wrong way springs to mind.
Vaquero (cowboy) is a dead word or so I think; maybe still used in some remote places. We still use the plural (vaqueros) for jeans.

I though white kidney beans. Looking at pictures, there's a lot of regional variety. Some look like haricot, and some pinto. How about these

Don't want to spend that much on beans? It's OK if you buy the ones you posted. Only OK though.

from the very first cut, my new number one favourite knife
and btw, always cut almonds like this, one by one
if you need it more fine grained, just turn the sliced almond 90degr, and chop lightly
done the right way its unbelieveably easy
and believe it or not, also the fastest method
but needs a good knife ofcourse

Here's my first trial attempt at white beans and pork, quasi-Spanish style, complete with my only kitchen knife ever, a proper sword steel Sabatier filleting knive...thin, flexible, and sharpens like razor.
The ingredients came from within ten minutes walk. Polish runner beans, Slovakian smoked sausage that smells like the house is on fire added at the end, leg pork seered and added after 1 hour, bacon at the beginning together with saffron, smoked paprika, Spanish garlic and olive oil, bay leaves from my yard, and wild oregano that grows all down the street after I grew some in a pot years ago, climate change? Beans swell up almost as big as butter beans, but aren't so creamy and still taste like runner beans, oddly.
Bread is Polish spelt. Pot and bowl GDR austerity-ware.
Actually it's OK but the bacon's rubbish and the sausage tastes like the house was on fire, and it's the wrong kind of bean.
Apologies to Cassiel, and all Spanish people everywhere. I'll use the proper stuff when I cook for guests.
In Bradford it was hard to find pork for years, because the majority inner-city population of Muslims don't eat it. Now a new generation of Poles, Czechs and Slovaks have turned up, and they seem to eat nothing but, with white cabbage.

Congratulations! It looks pretty good, even if it isn't 100% the original recipe. WTH??? New inventions are the way to go!
For nearly the same price as bought locally, you can get those ingredients here. OK, they're even cheaper on that website.
