Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika
Salt and ground black pepper
2 ounces smoked slab bacon, diced
1 boneless pork loin, about 1 1/2 pounds, cut in half
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and slivered

Provided by Roopa Gulati

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ tsp black peppercorn
2 tsp fennel seed
1 tsp coriander seed
2 tsp cumin seed
1 tsp chilli powder
½ tsp turmeric
2 garlic bulbs, peeled, cloves separated
100ml red wine vinegar
1.5kg/3lb 5oz pork shoulder , cut into 2.5cm pieces
50ml vegetable oil

2 red peppers , deseeded and roughly chopped
400g can chopped tomato
2 tsp dark muscovado sugar
2 x 400g tins chickpeas , drained and rinsed

rice , to serve

Steps:

  • Heat a small pan over a medium heat. Add the peppercorns, fennel, coriander and cumin seeds, and dry-fry for about 1 min, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Add the garlic and vinegar to the spices and process to a coarse paste.

Put on the lid, bring to a simmer, then put in the oven for about 1½ hrs until the meat is tender and the sauce thickened. Eat immediately with rice, or cool before freezing in batches for up to 3 months.

Slow-Cooked Pork with Chickpeas image

Canned chickpeas are perfect for this one-pot dish because they become even more creamy as they warm in the cooking liquid. In case you're not a fan, you can go with whatever canned bean you like.

Categories     Pepper     Fennel     Pork     Garlic     White Wine     Onion     Chickpea     Parsley     Winter     Dinner     Entertaining     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 Tbsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp. whole black peppercorns
1 Tbsp. fennel seeds
4 lb. boneless pork shoulder, fat cap trimmed to 1/4"
2 Tbsp. kosher salt
4 Tbsp. extra-virgin oil, divided
1 medium onion, sliced into 1/2"-thick rounds
1 head of garlic, halved crosswise
4 fresh bay leaves
2 cups dry white wine
2 (15.5-oz.) canned chickpeas, rinsed
1/2 lemon
3 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley
Special Equipment
A spice mill or mortar and pestle

Steps:

  • Coarsely grind red pepper flakes, peppercorns, and fennel seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle.
  • Generously season pork with salt, sprinkling more heavily on meat than layer of fat. Sprinkle with spice mixture, massaging into all spots so it adheres to pork.
  • Roll pork as tightly as you can, then tie individual lengths of kitchen twine around roast every 1" or so. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour, or chill overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven. Cook pork, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10-12 minutes total. Transfer pork to a plate.
  • Remove pot from heat and dump out fat. Add remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and heat over medium. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until exposed flesh turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in bay leaves and return pork to pot. Pour in wine and 2 cups water. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Bake, turning pork every 45 minutes or so, until pork is tender and pulls apart easily, 2 1/2-3 hours. Transfer pork to a plate and let cool slightly before tearing into big chunks.
  • Return pot with braising liquid to low heat and add chickpeas and pork. Cover and cook until chickpeas and pork are warmed through, 12-15 minutes.
  • Transfer chickpeas, pork, and braising liquid to a platter. Finely zest lemon over and top with parsley.
  • Do Ahead
  • Stew (without lemon zest and parsley) can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Add lemon zest and parsley just before serving.

CHICKEN AND CHICKPEA CHILI



Chicken and Chickpea Chili image

Provided by Justin Chapple

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 slices bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 poblano chile, stemmed, seeded and chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
1 to 2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, seeded and minced
1 small rotisserie chicken
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until rendered but not crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion, carrot, celery, poblano, garlic and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and just start to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in the cumin and coriander and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Meanwhile, transfer the tomatoes and their juices to a medium bowl. Using your hands, gently crushed the tomatoes into chunks. Add the tomatoes, stock and chipotles to the pan and bring to a simmer.
  • Remove and discard the skin and bones from the chicken. Coarsely chop or shred the meat. Stir the chicken and chickpeas into the pan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring gently, until the chicken and chickpeas are heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Season the chili with salt and pepper. Serve hot, topped with the cheese.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a combination of ground pork and ground beef. You can also use all pork or all beef, but the combination of the two meats gives the chili a richer flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans. Black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans are all good choices. You can also use a mix of different beans.
  • Add vegetables to the chili to make it more nutritious and filling. Diced tomatoes, corn, and bell peppers are all good choices.
  • Season the chili to taste with salt, pepper, and chili powder. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, oregano, and paprika.
  • Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped onions.

Conclusion:

Pork and chickpea chili is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend tailgate party. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork. The chili can be made ahead of time and reheated, or it can be frozen for later use.
