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 2 large frying pans, a sieve & a measuring jug

Prep the veg

  • Thinly slice the onion. Dice the peppers into 2cm chunks. Thinly slice the garlic. Drain and rinse the beans
  • Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and pepper and cook for 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened
  • Add the pork and cook for 4 mins, until golden

Simmer simmer

  • Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 1 min, then mix in the beans, sundried tomato paste, tempero baiano and half the vinegar. Cook for 1 min more
  • Add 250ml hot water and the stock powder. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 7 mins, until the liquid thickens slightly and the pork is cooked. Season with salt and pepper

Toast the coconut chips

  • Heat the other large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the coconut chips and cook for 1-2 mins, tossing regularly, until golden. Remove and set aside

Pan-steam the greens

  • Peel and dice the oranges into 1cm chunks. Trim the green beans. Pick any woody stalks from the kale
  • Reheat the frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the green beans and cook for 3-4 mins, until golden
  • Add the kale and 1 tbsp water and steam for 2-3 mins, until soft. Season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Toss the orange and remaining vinegar through the steamed greens
  • 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
  • Serve the pork stew between bowls, with the greens alongside. Sprinkle over the toasted coconut chips
