Ingredients

  • Garlic Clove: 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Olive Oil: 2 tsp olive oil
  • Smoked Paprika: 1 tbsp sweet smoked paprika
  • Chopped Tomato: 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
  • Red Onion: 1 large red onion, chopped
  • Pepper: 2 peppers, sliced, any colour will do
  • Parsley: small bunch parsley, chopped
  • Bread: crusty bread, to serve (optional)
  • Butter Bean: 400g can butter beans, drained
  • Golden Caster Sugar: 2 tsp golden caster sugar
  • Pork Mince: 350g lean pork mince

Directions

  1. Season the pork, working the seasoning in with your hands, then shape into small meatballs. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the meatballs and cook for 5 mins, until golden brown all over. Push to one side of the pan and add the onion and peppers. Cook for a further 5 mins, stirring now and then, until the veg has softened, then stir in the garlic and paprika. Stir everything around in the pan for 1 min, then add the tomatoes. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 mins.
  2. Uncover, stir in the beans, the sugar and some seasoning, then simmer for a further 10 mins, uncovered. Just before serving, stir in the parsley. Serve with crusty bread for dunking, if you like.
