Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 garlic cloves , 1 crushed, 2 sliced
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
4 tsp smoked paprika
4 lean pork shoulder steaks (525g), trimmed of any fat
2 large onions (340g), halved and sliced
325g carrots (about 6), diced
2 tbsp sherry vinegar
2 red peppers , deseeded and chopped
1 tbsp vegetable bouillon powder , made up to 500ml with boiling water
3 rosemary sprigs , leaves picked and finely chopped
200g whole cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato purée
2 x 400g cans butter beans , drained
⅓ x 30g pack parsley , chopped
squeeze of lemon (optional)

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.

SLOW COOKER BARBECUE PORK AND BEANS



Slow Cooker Barbecue Pork and Beans image

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.

Categories     dinner, barbecues, beans, meat, one pot, main course

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 to 3 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of more than 1/4-inch fat
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup store-bought or homemade barbecue sauce
1 chipotle in adobo, finely chopped, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons light brown sugar, plus more to taste
2 (14-ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed
6 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced

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.

PORK AND BEANS WITH GARLIC AND GREENS



Pork and Beans with Garlic and Greens image

Like other commonplace ingredients, beans too often fail to get their culinary due. Prepared with a little care, they can be as good in their own way as caviar, with subtly distinct, satisfyingly earthy flavors and a texture perfectly pitched between tenderness and chew. This recipe provides a classy twist on the typical view of pork and beans and even includes the use of that ubiquitous green, kale.

Provided by John Willoughby

Categories     project, side dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound white or cannellini beans, soaked overnight or quick-soaked
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless pork butt, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 onion, sliced
12 to 15 peeled whole garlic cloves
1 cup chopped tomatoes
2 cups thinly sliced kale or mustard greens
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
About 1 quart chicken stock

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse the soaked beans, then heat the oven to 350.
  • Heat the oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Add the pork and brown well on all sides, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the pork from the pot, add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, 1 minute.
  • Add the pork, along with the beans, tomatoes, greens, mustard, salt and pepper and enough chicken stock to cover. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Cover and transfer the pot to the oven and bake until the beans are tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours, checking every half-hour or so after the first hour and adding water as needed if all the liquid has been absorbed.
