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.

SPICY BAKED BEANS



Spicy Baked Beans image

Tangy and sweet old-fashioned baked beans with a little jalapeno. They're easy to make and great at a BBQ, hamburger night, a picnic, etc. My husband's favorite semi-homemade recipe. Says the sweetness and fire create a super depth of flavor. It's not strong enough to overwhelm the sweet home-style of baked beans.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Pork     Fourth of July     Super Bowl     Quick & Easy     Backyard BBQ     Buffet     Tailgating

Number Of Ingredients 15

2-3 lbs Large Pork Tri-tip (or pork loin roast)
16 oz cans of kidney beans
16 oz cans of pinquito beans
16 oz cans of Bush's Baked beans
1/2 cup spicy bbq sauce (Stubs)
Large yellow onions
Large red bell peppers
3-4 garlic cloves
1-2 large Jalapeno Peppers

1/2 tbs garlic salt
1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp chipotle pepper

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl combine all of the dried spices (brown sugar, garlic salt, black pepper, chili powder, cayenne and chipotle peppers) mix well and set aside. Coarsely chop the onions and bell peppers, finely chop the jalapenos, mince the garlic and add to pot. Rinse and drain the kidney beans and add them along with the other beans and BBQ sauce to the pot. Add the spice mixture taking care to distribute it evenly while mixing well. Place the pork in the crock pot, cover and cook for 4-6 hrs. Cooking times will vary. Stir occasionally and when stirring begins to make the pork fall apart, vent the cover to steam off much of the moisture. Stir more frequently while thickening taking care to break up the pork so it is stringy like BBQ'd pulled pork. When it thickens to a chili like consistency it's done. Enjoy!
