Method

  1. Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Cut the pork belly into large chunks. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large, ovenproof casserole and fry the pork in batches over a high heat until browned all over, then remove with a slotted spoon.
  2. Add the pancetta and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden, then reduce the heat slightly and add the onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the paprika and chorizo and cook for a minute or so. Return the pork to the pan and tip in the tomatoes. Pour in the wine and enough water just to cover - about 350ml. Season, cover and cook in the oven for 2 hours. Stir in the haricot beans and return to the oven, without the lid, for 20-30 minutes. Stir in the coriander and serve with crusty bread.

    I did this in a slow cooker and served it with rice. Really amazing!

    I made this with passata instead of chopped tomatoes and don't think it made a difference to the end result. The pork was melt in the mouth, absolutely delicious.

    I put it into the slow cooker, but forgot to plug it in doh! So I had to cook it on the hob for quickness. I used pork tenderloin to cut down a bit of the fat and spray oil - it was yummy! My hubbys new favourite meal!

    This was delicious and rated 5* by all nine of the diners. I made it the day before and skimmed the fat off when it was cold. We served it with lots of homemade crusty bread and a green salad.

    Very lovely dish. Served with homemade bread. I must confess I altered it a bit. Added celery and because of time omitted the pork belly. Didn't miss it though, plenty of meat to go round.

    This is a must for a gathering! I missed the butcher and used chicken instead of pork belly, and cubed smoked bacon for the pancetta it went down a treat! It's dramatic at the dinner table being a vivid red colour. I served this with cubed roast potatoes and olive bread to give a tapas feel and I wasn't disappointed after having cooked - if you know what I mean! I think the colour and strong flavour put my 6 year old off a bit but the 8, 9 and 99 years olds loved it!

    This is the first thing I have made from the website and I hope all my other efforts are as well rewarded. It was delicious! I made it in the slow cooker and the meat was beautifully tender. I served it with rice this time but next time I will stick to crusty bread and possibly a green salad - there will definately be a next time!

    I have made this dish four times now and every time it was superb. Real comfort food for a cold night, served with crusty bread.

    I was initially unsure about the belly pork but it went down a treat. Everyone loved it, even my 9 year old daughter who can be a bit fussy with her meat!

    I made this with diced pork leg rather than belly pork, and it was delicious. Will certainly make again.

    I'm afraid I wasn't overly impressed with this dish. Expensive to make, buying pork belly, chorizo, pancetta etc and it was really oily. I served it with mash and rocket salad. I doubt I would make it again.

    Very nice! Pork was very tender and I didn't think this was a very expensive dish at all. Made enough for 4 and spent £2 on pork belly and £1 on chorizo and pancetta. I served it with salad and a Spanish tortilla with red peppers and spinach. Mmm mmm. Tasted even better the following day and the husband wants MORE!

    I followed Goldenboots suggestion and made this the day before and refrigerated. Lots of bright red fat was easily removed and the served up dish was truly lovely.

    I made this dish and served with with crusty bread. My boyfriend enjoyed it but I thought it was quite rich - I was a bit generous with the chorizo and would use less next time with more belly pork.
