Equipment you will use

Pot

Add the cumin, garlic powder, olive oil, vinegar, and jalapeño peppers. Simmer for 4 hours, or until the beans are the proper texture for your taste. (Personally, I am not an al dente bean guy. I like my beans so that when I bite into them, the texture is pleasantly creamy and tender, like a piece of cake.)

Remove the pork shank, pull the meat from the bone, discard the bone, and put the meat back in the pot. If you are freezing some of the soup, let it cool before portioning it into plastic bags.
