Pig rind and beans.

It is a dish that rarely I prepare, usually in cold weather
It is a Roman poor dish,

What you need for 4 servings (heavy!)
400 grams of dried white beans
150 grams of pork rind
1 tablespoon of lard
50 grams of fat ham
1 clove of garlic
parsley
1 white onion
500 grams of peeled
salt
pepper
1. Put the beans to soak and let them stand for a whole night then drain, rinse them and boil them in water without salt, and cook for 2 hours.
Add salt 10 minutes before the end of cooking.
2. Remove grease from the pork rind until they become thin and almost transparent then rinse and blanch for 5-6 minutes in water without salt. Transfer the pig rind to a cutting board, cut into strips and cook them in unsalted water for an hour, until they become soft.

3. Chop the onion finely and fry over low heat in lard together with a little ham, garlic and parsley. When the onion begins to brown add the crushed tomatoes and cook until the sauce does not shrink a little, about 15 minutes.

4. Add in the pot the beans and pork rind, both drained, then add salt and pepper. Cooking for 30-40 minutes by low heat, and if necessary Add little water, because the sauce most little liquid.
Serve hot accompanied with homemade bread.
