Then transfer it to a deep saucepan, fill with purified water so that the liquid was above the level of beans by 10 - 12 centimeters, and put to boil over medium heat. After boiling, cook the beans for 1.5 hours.
3. Meanwhile, wash the pork neck under cold running water and dry it with paper kitchen towels.

9. When the beans are cooked, discard them in a clean colander, pre-installed in a deep bowl, and leave in it for 10 minutes to drain the remnants of vegetable broth. Do not drain the liquid from the beans - you will still need it!
10. We do not waste time in vain, we put a frying pan with vegetable oil on a strong fire. After 2 - 3 minutes, dip pieces of pork in hot oil and fry until ruddy crust, stirring with a kitchen spatula.

Mix all the ingredients until smooth and simmer over medium heat for 8 - 10 minutes or until the pork is fully cooked. From time to time, add the liquid from the beans to the pan so that the meat is not too dry.
13. 2 - 3 minutes before the end of cooking, add chopped garlic to the dish. After that, cover the pan with a lid, turn off the stove and insist fragrant dish for 3-4 minutes. Next, lay out the pork with beans on plates and serve.
