Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a medium frying pan, a small bowl, a sieve & a measuring jug

Do the prep

  • Finely dice the onion. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Roughly dice half the tomatoes, halve the remaining. Reserve 1 orange wedge, then peel and cut the remaining into 1cm chunks. Roughly chop half the coriander, reserving the remaining leaves for garnish. Drain and rinse the beans

Time to fry

  • Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork and half the onion and cook for 3 mins. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the halved tomatoes, garlic, cumin, hot honey and the half pack of chipotle paste (add less for less heat) and cook for a further 1 min, until fragrant

Simmer the stew & make the salsa

  • Add the beans, passata, the juice from the reserved orange wedge and 80ml water (40ml for 1 person) to the pan and simmer for 7 mins, until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has reduced slightly. Season to taste
  • Meanwhile, in the small bowl, combine the remaining onion with the diced tomato, orange chunks, chopped coriander, the juice from half the lime, 1/2 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well, then set aside

Plate up

  • Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
  • Share the pork stew between bowls, topped with the salsa, reserved coriander leaves and the peanuts. Serve with the remaining lime, cut into wedges
