Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 4 pork shoulder steaks (approx. 700g)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 onions (approx. 240g) chopped
  • 2 x 400 g (28.2 oz) tins chopped tomatoes
  • 100 ml (½ cup) water
  • 2 chicken stock cubes (crumbled) or pots
  • 4 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp chilli flakes
  • 400 g (14.1 oz) tin cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 400 g (28.2 oz) tin baked beans

To serve (optional):

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a shallow casserole dish (or large pan with a lid) over a medium to high heat. Season the pork steaks, then brown for 2 minutes on each side.
  • Pile the steaks over the side and add the onion, then place the steaks on top. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Move the pork over to the side again and add the tomatoes, water, crumbled stock cubes or pots, cumin and chilli flakes. Stir well to combine then lay the steaks into the tomato mixture.
  • Turn the heat down, cover and simmer gently for 2 hours 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cannellini beans, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in the baked beans, cover and simmer for a final 5 minutes.
  • Pull the pork apart using two forks, then serve the chilli with your choice of Mexican sides.

Notes

  • Optional variations:
    • Extra smoky - add chipotle paste.
    • Spicy version - add fresh chilli or cayenne pepper.
    • Low-carb - serve over cauliflower rice.
  • This slow cooked pork shoulder chilli recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
