Cowboy Cuisine
This week my home city of Calgary hosts the Stampede, a one-week long celebration of our Western/Cowboy heritage and "The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth". Normally Calgary is a fairly buttoned-down business-oriented city but for one week we cut loose, dress in cowboy duds, and eat free Pancake Breakfasts at various locations across the city.
In honour of Stampede Week, I just cooked up a classic cowboy dish that I thought I'd share with you all.
Pork and Beans
6 slices of pork side or thick-cut bacon, cut into pieces
1 onion, chopped
2 cans of beans
chopped fresh cilantro
Cook the pork and onion together until the onion is translucent and the pork and onion have cooked down. I did this by covering the pot and stirring occasionally. Add the beans and cook covered over low heat for about ten minutes. I used beans in maple syrup (another Canadian specialty, though not from the West). Stir in cilantro and serve with sourdough bread.

I've never had pork and beans that weren't bought in a can. I will definitely try these next time I want to serve pork and beans. They sound yummy!
