Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt
  • 50 grams chorizo, sliced
  • 2 freshly chopped parsley
  • 1 can, chopped tomatoes
  • 1/4 tsp onion salt
  • 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 400 grams pork, cubed
  • 1 bottle of beer
  • 1 hot chilli powder or hot sauce, add as little or as much as you like
  • 1 can of 400g kidney beans
  • 200 grams spaghetti
  • 2 frankfurters, sliced
  • 2 pre-boiled potatoes

Method

  • Heat the olive oil with the chorizo until it has gone crispy on a medium heat.
  • Then remove the chorizo from the oil.
  • Next add the onion, garlic and bay leaves and cook until onion is softened.
  • About 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the chopped tomatos, paste, garlic and onion salt and let it simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the parsley into the sauce, simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the pork to the sauce and simmer with lid on for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the beer in and stir well.
  • Simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Stirring occasionally.
  • Crumble the stock cube and add to the pan.
  • Add the chilli.
  • Next add in the kidney beans.
  • Don't add the liquid in the can but set it aside in case pork starts during cooking.
  • Simmer for a further 5 minutes.
  • Break the spaghetti up and add to the pork.
  • Replace lid and simmer until the pasta is cooked.
  • About 10-15 minutes.
  • I added the water from kidney beans plus around an extra 50ml of cold water as it started to dry during cooking.
  • Stir regularly as it will stick to the pan.
  • Add more water if needs be.
  • Add in the sliced frankfurters and stir.
  • Simmer for a further 2-3 minutes.
  • Check seasoning before adding the potatoes.
  • I had left over potatoes so I added them to the pork but you can omit or add fresh potatoes when you add in the pork.
  • Cut the potatoes into chunks and add them to the pork.
  • Simmer for another 1-2 minutes and turn heat off.
