Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

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

Prep & sizzle

  • Thinly slice the peppers and onion. Halve the tomatoes. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Drain and rinse the beans. Season the pork with salt
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork and cook for 4 mins on one side

Simmer the pork

  • After 4 mins, flip the pork, add the pepper and onion cook for 3-4 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the smoked paprika, tomato puree, tomatoes and two-thirds of the garlic. Cook for 1 min, then stir in the beans, red pepper tapenade, honey and 200ml water (100ml for 1 person). Bring to a boil, then simmer for 11 mins, until the sauce has thickened and the pork is cooked through. Add a splash of water if it becomes too dry

Make the parsley drizzle

  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley and add to the small bowl
  • Stir in the remaining garlic, 2 tsp olive oil and 1 tbsp water (1/2 tbsp for 1 person). Season with salt and pepper

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 butter beans between bowls, topped with the pork. Spoon over the parsley drizzle
