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.

    Would definitely make again. Very satisfying having it stewing away all afternoon. Made olive foccacio to go with it - also very easy.

    OMG! Absolutely lush! Husband said the only words to describe this were 'deep' and 'unctuous' and I agree. I'm not keen on beans of any kind so used a whole green pepper instead. The ratio of ingredients was very different as I was cooking for 2 but still used 400g tomatoes. I use a 'chorizo picante' from Waitrose which I love anyway, but this added a tiny bit of spice. Had this accompanied by crusty rolls which was perfect. Will definitely be making this again, and doing various alterations as I feel like it. (NB: Belly pork isn't necessary - lovely! But I'm sure most cheap cuts of pork would have the same effect. Looking forward to trying chicken as suggested???)

    Didn't put star rating - obviously a '5' from me! NB: First time I've cooked anything from this site that has been so good I've felt I have to review it! [V.Spanish by the way!]

    Try this with chick peas instead of haricot beans. I do this in a slow cooker and it's fantastic.

    Made this last week and making it again today. It's a yummy winter warmer. I serve it on a bed of boiled wild brown rice.

    This is a really great recipe that succeeds in turning a cheap cut into something delicious! I drained off the fat after I'd fried the belly pork and used 1 can of cannellini beans and another of kidney beans and served it with some homemade bread, yum!

    I regularly make this in the slow cooker, I miss out the pancetta though because it ends up too salty otherwise. You don't miss it though.

    really nice - I used chopped smoked bacon instead of Pancetta - I also used normal paprika and just added a pinch of chilli powder - what can I say, looked and tasted fantastic !!

    I made this for my boyfriend and he loved it. I added a couple of birdeye chillis to give it a bit of a kick- it's so easy to make.

    Brilliant supper dish with friends - easy to make and very tasty. I used shoulder pork instead of belly pork as it is not quite so fatty but still inexpensive. I also added about one eighth teaspoon of chilli flakes just to add a little extra heat. Served it with mashed potatoes carrots and peas

    Absolutely delicious. A very rich hearty stew. I served this with lots of bread to soak up the unctuous sauce and a sherry vinagrette salad to cut through the richness. I would add another tin of beans next time

    Had friends round for a casual Sunday Supper and thought this looked perfect! Was initially worried when reading the comments about the amount of oil as I didn't have time to make the previous day, however it was fine! Yes it was a bit oily but only in a good way :) I browned off meat and onions then cooked in slow cooker (without adding any of the water) for 7ish hours on low, adding the beans (Haricot and Butter) and removing lid for last 1.5hrs. Served with warm ciabatta and a mixture or sauted savoy cabbage and petit pois. Went down an absolute treat with a couple bottles of red (four of us easily polished off the lot, "oink oink!") and will certainly be making many more appearances in my kitchen!

    Loved this recipe, the slow cooking made the pork 'melt in your moouth fantastic'. I served it with stir fried curly kale and crust bread... It is a certainty that this will appear on our menu again!
