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.

    Made this a few times now with whatever pork I've had at the time, and it goes down a treat. Used a tin of baked beans as that's what I had in the cupboard and it was delicious!

    I have made this once to the recipe and then recently made a double quantity using pork shoulder and smoked bacon pieces instead of pancetta. Both times it was great, but the second time it was better, not sure if this is down to the slight recipe change or leaving to stand overnight in the fridge. Both times a real crowd pleaser and enjoyed by all ages.

    i found this recipe very nice but it was very salty and maybe the chorizo could be reduced next time.

    This is amazingly beautiful and so simple to cook - preoare ahead and leave in the oven. Would highly reccomend - just don't add any salt to the dish as the Chorizo flavours it enough! I served with steamed broccooli and spicy swede puree and it was delicious. I also trimmed as much fat off the belly pork beforehand, but the meat was still just melted in the mouth.

    REALLY impressed with this dish, have made it twice already, went down a storm with my partner and my parents. Didn't find it expensive at all as you can buy all the ingredients pretty cheaply in the supermarket! I added a can of butter beans and used smoked bacon lardons instead of the pancetta. It is very rich so i served it simply with crusty bread and a large glass of wine :)

    Really enjoyed this though felt it needed to have a bit more 'body' in the sauce. Had to use parma ham as was in Dubai at the time and couldnt easily get hold of pancetta. When I make it again I will use butter beans as suggested above as I really like them and hadn't thought to use them.

    Make this with pork loin and chorizo. I leave out the bacon to keep the salt down and it turns out just fine. The whole family love it with some salad and crusty bread.

    Such a delicious warming meal. I used our home grown borlotti beans instead of haricots. Will use this recipe over and over again.

    Liked it but found it a bit to oily and quite heavy. Nice on a very cold winters day.
