Method
- Preheat the oven to 150°C/fan 130°C/gas 2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large flameproof casserole. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes until soft. Stir in 1 tsp of the cumin and all the oregano, then cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from the casserole and set aside.
- Add the pork and the remaining oil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until browned. Stir in the honey, the remaining cumin, cinnamon, garlic and chilli. Season with salt and mix well. Return the onions to the pan and add the tomatoes, stock, sweet potatoes and bay leaf. Bring to the boil, then cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and stir in the beans. Cover and return to the oven for another 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped coriander and serve with yogurt on the side, if you like, and crusty bread.
