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.

    totally yum. and cheap. I've done this a few times and is a real crowd pleaser. I'm not bonkers about pork but all the smoked paprika and over cooking makes this a coherent and balanced dish. The bread idea is pretty good, but I commit total sacrilege and serve it with potato dauphinoise (or however it's spelled). Goes down well after a good night out ;-)

    Is the nutritional information on this accurate? I make it closer to 900+ KCals per portion! It is still delicious

    I served the dish with crusty rye bread and it went down a treat. It is spicy but not overtly so. I'll certainly cook it again, but I'll probably slow cook it for an extra hour so the pork meat is even more tender. Yummy!

    Absolutely delicious, I will make this again and again, just serve with bread to mop up the juices. I don't own a casserole dish so I just cooked it in a pan on the hob and then transferred it into a ceramic dish covered with foil for the oven. As others have said an easy way to remove the excess fat is to let it cool and then remove the hard fat from the surface. I also drained the fat out the pan after each batch of the belly pork.

    Didn't have pancetta, and as many people suggested, I added a tin of baked beans. Oh, dear was this ever lovely to eat on a cold evening. Served it with mash and salad. Will do it again and again.

    Despite all the fat in this recipe it is absolutely delicious - all bowls wiped clean. Will make again - but not too often as rich and a heart attack on a plate.
