SLOW COOKER BARBECUE PORK AND BEANS
Pork and beans are cooked together in a slow cooker for mutually beneficial results (If you don't have a slow cooker, you can do it in a pot in the oven.) As the pork shoulder and barbecue sauce braise in the oven, the sauce soaks up the pork juices while the pork tenderizes. Then, beans are added to soak up the deeply concentrated sauce. The recipe uses store-bought barbecue sauce enhanced with the smoky heat of canned chipotles in adobo and brown sugar, which helps glaze the pork. Because every barbecue sauce is different, taste and adjust yours as needed. (For a more acidic sauce, add apple cider vinegar with the beans, or you can increase the sweetness with added sugar.) To serve, slice the pork or shred it into pulled pork.

Steps:
- Season the pork all over with 1 tablespoon salt and and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. In a large Dutch oven or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the pork shoulder and sear until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in your slow cooker, stir together the barbecue sauce, chipotle and brown sugar. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with brown sugar and spice with chipotle.
- Add browned pork to the barbecue sauce and turn to coat in the sauce. Add the beans and garlic to the sauce around the pork. Cover and cook on low until the meat falls apart when prodded with a fork, 8 to 10 hours.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Skim excess fat from the top if desired, then season the beans to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the pork against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices, or shred the pork with two forks. Serve the pork with the beans.

Steps:
- Mix the crushed garlic, 1 tbsp of the oil and 1 tsp smoked paprika together in a shallow dish and turn the pork steaks over in the mix to coat them on both sides. Heat a large non-stick frying pan and fry the pork for about 4 mins on each side to part-cook and brown them, then remove them from the pan.
- Add the rest of the oil to the pan and fry the onions, carrots and sliced garlic, stirring frequently for 10 mins until the veg starts to caramelise a little. Pour in the sherry vinegar, allowing it to sizzle in the heat, then add the peppers, bouillon, rosemary, any juices left in the dish from the pork, the cherry tomatoes, tomato purée, remaining 3 tsp paprika and beans.
- Lay the pork steaks on top, then cover the pan and cook for 20 mins until the pork and vegetables are tender. The pork will be cooked and juicy, but not fall apart. Remove the pork from the pan, stir in the parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, if using.
- If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, eat two portions of the pork and beans now and chill the rest for another day. Will keep for up to two days. To serve the second night, just reheat in a pan.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork shoulder. Look for a pork shoulder that is at least 4 pounds with a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the meat is tender and flavorful.
- Sear the pork shoulder before cooking it in the slow cooker. This will help to brown the meat and develop its flavor.
- Use a variety of seasonings. This recipe uses a simple combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, but you can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or smoked paprika.
- Add some liquid to the slow cooker. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out. You can use water, broth, or even beer.
- Cook the pork shoulder on low for 8-10 hours. This will allow the meat to become fall-apart tender.
- Serve the pork shoulder with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, green beans, and cornbread.
Conclusion:
This slow cooker pork shoulder with white beans is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The pork shoulder is fall-apart tender and the white beans are creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
