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.

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.

HOW TO MAKE DRIED CHICKPEAS IN A CROCK-POT



How to Make Dried Chickpeas in a Crock-Pot image

It was a garage sale bargain I couldn't resist. So after all these years, I am first using a crockpot--and one of the first things I made was this--and these chickpeas are outrageously good. No more canned chickpeas for me.

Provided by Chef Kate

Categories     Beans

Time 3h5m

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups dried garbanzo beans
6 cups water
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Rinse and drain chickpeas in cold water. Pick out any stones and dark brown chickpeas.
  • Put drained chickpeas into your crock pot. Add water and salt.
  • Cook on High for 2-3 hours or until soft. Depending on your tastes and what you are going to use them for you can remove when slightly firm or cook until they are very soft.
  • When done, carefully pour into a colander, being careful to use oven mitts to handle the crock - it will be hot. Drain and rinse well.
  • Chickpeas will keep for about 2 days in the fridge. They will keep longer if made into hummus. They also freeze quite well.
  • To freeze chickpeas rinse and drain them thoroughly. Leave to drain well for about 15 minutes. Spread chickpeas onto a baking tray, making sure they don't touch one another. Put into freezer. When frozen, you can transfer the chickpeas to a freezer bag or plastic container for more permanent storage.

A Spanish-influenced stew with slow-cooked belly pork, a cheap cut with great flavour and soft texture

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tbsp olive oil
700g skinless, boneless pork belly, cut into large bite-sized chunks
100g cooking chorizo, sliced into thin rounds
1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 tsp fennel seed
small pinch dried chilli flakes
2 garlic cloves
4 bay leaves, fresh are best
sprig of thyme
large pinch golden caster sugar
1 tbsp tomato purée
50ml sherry vinegar or good quality red wine vinegar
400g tin chopped tomato
400g tin chickpea, drained and rinsed
fresh chopped parsley

Steps:

  • 1 Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat the oil in a casserole dish with a lid and spend a good 10 mins browning the pork on all sides. If your casserole dish isn't wide enough to fit the pork in a single layer then brown it in batches. Scoop the pork out and set aside then add the chorizo and sizzle for a minute. Add the vegetables, fennel seeds, chilli flakes, garlic and herbs and cook for about 5 mins until the vegetables are soft and just starting to colour. Sprinkle over the sugar and stir in the tomato purée then splash in the vinegar and bubble for a moment. Tip in the tomatoes and a can of water. Stir the pork and juices into the sauce, season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
  • Cover the dish with a lid and place in the oven for 1 hr 45 mins, checking occasionally and if the sauce becomes too thick add a splash more water. Remove the pan from the oven and stir in the chickpeas and return to the oven for 15 mins. Remove again and leave to cool slightly so it's not scorching hot then stir through the parsley. Taste for seasoning and serve with crusty bread or boiled potatoes.

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
3 large red onions , finely chopped
2 red peppers , deseeded and roughly chopped
400g can chopped tomato
2 tsp dark muscovado sugar
2 x 400g tins chickpeas , drained and rinsed
450ml chicken stock
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. Tip into a small food processor with the chilli powder and turmeric. Put the garlic in the pan and fry for 1-2 mins until flecked golden. Add the garlic and vinegar to the spices and process to a coarse paste.
  • Put the pork in a bowl. Add the paste and mix with your hands to combine - it's best to use disposable gloves, as turmeric stains. Leave to marinate for 15 mins.

Increase heat to high, add the pork and fry, stirring often, for about 10 mins until darkened.

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.

COOKED CHICKPEAS OR GARBANZOS (SLOW-COOKER)



Cooked Chickpeas or Garbanzos (Slow-Cooker) image

Chickpeas you cook yourself are so much nicer than the canned ones. Plus, you can control the salt content. And using the slow cooker makes it fool-proof.

Provided by duonyte

Categories     Beans

Time 4h10m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 cups chickpeas, cleaned and washed
5 cups water

Steps:

  • A 3 1/2 or 4 quart slow cooker is ideal. Place the chickpeas in the slow cooker, pour in the water and cook on high for 4 hours.
  • Check to see whether they are tender enough for you - they should not be mushy. If done, drain.
  • Refrigerate for a week, freeze for up to 3 months.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder, pork butt, and pork loin are all good choices for slow cooking. These cuts are tough, but they become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
  • Sear the pork before slow cooking: Searing the pork helps to brown the meat and develop flavor. It also helps to keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to cook the pork will add flavor to the dish. Good options include broth, stock, water, or even beer.
  • Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs will add flavor and nutrients to the dish. Good choices include onions, garlic, carrots, celery, potatoes, and rosemary.
  • Cook the pork on low heat: Slow cooking helps to tenderize the meat and develop flavor. Cook the pork on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked pork with chickpeas is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the chickpeas add a creamy texture and nutty flavor. This dish can be served with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
