Ingredients

1 tbsp sunflower or rapeseed oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
600g pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 3cm cubes
300g chorizo, cut into 1cm slices
100g smoked back bacon, chopped
400g tin black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp thyme leaves
4 bay leaves
1 tsp red wine vinegar
200ml chicken stock
Juice 1 orange
15g coriander, chopped, to garnish

Method

If you have a sear or braise function on the slow cooker, switch it on. Add the oil, onion, garlic and red chilli, followed by the pork, chorizo and bacon, then fry for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Or do this in a large frying pan over a high heat, then transfer to the slow cooker.
Add the beans, thyme, bay, vinegar and stock, cover with a lid and cook on low for at least 4 hours until the pork is fall-apart tender, the sauce tastes well balanced and is a rich red.
Stir in the orange juice, season to taste and scatter over the coriander to serve.
