For the hogao: In a hot skillet, pour enough vegetable oil and fry white onion, red onion, and garlic. Cook over medium-low heat until ingredients turn bright. Add tomato, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 7 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat, cool, and reserve. For the beans: In a pressure cooker, place previously drained beans. Pour enough water to cover beans. Add onion, garlic, and carrots. Cook over medium-high heat, uncovered, until water boils. Add plantain and put the lid on the pressure cooker, making sure it’s properly closed. Place the pressure regulator. Once the pressure cooker whistles, cook for 30 minutes. Cool pressure cooker under cold running water. Open the pressure cooker and put it back on the heat, without the lid. Transfer carrots, plantain, and a bit of bean broth to a blender, add a tablespoon of hogao, and blend until smooth. Pour the blended mixture back into the pressure cooker. Season with salt and cook for 20 more minutes over medium-low heat. Reserve. For the pork rinds: Pour water in a pot and add onion, garlic, bay leaf, and pancetta. Cook over medium-high heat for 35 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and cool. Reserve. Meanwhile, prepare ground beef. Pour vegetable oil into a hot skillet and cook ground beef with a tablespoon of hogao. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat stirring constantly for 12 minutes. Reserve. Brown pork rinds. Pour a dash of oil on a hot skillet. Place pork rinds and brown over medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels and reserve. In the skillet where you fried pork rinds, fry Argentinian chorizo and plantain. Drain excess oil on paper towels. Reserve. Fry egg in a smaller skillet with vegetable oil. Season with salt and pepper. For even cooking, cover the skillet while frying the egg. Reserve. In a platter, place cooked white rice, beans with a bit of broth, pork rinds, chorizo sausage, sliced fried plantain, fried egg, ground beef, and avocado. Garnish with cilantro and serve with arepas and the remaining hogao.
