Ingredients

  • 1 14 kg pork ribs
  • 600 g pork
  • 1 onion
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 400 g tomatoes
  • 800 g haricot beans
  • 3 tablespoons vinegar
  • 500 ml chicken stock
  • 4 tablespoons oil
  • 2 chilies
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 12 teaspoon paprika

Method

  • In a large bowl, mix the last four ingredients together with a sprinkling of salt and half of the olive oil.
  • Coat the short ribs in the mixture.
  • Cut the pork belly into pieces the same size as the ribs, and add them to the mix.
  • Leave to marinate for as long as possible - overnight is great.
  • Turn your oven to 220C/Gas 7.
  • Pack the porky bits into a roasting dish with the onion and carrots and roast for 40 minutes, turning once, until browned all over.
  • Turn the oven down to 180C/Gas 4.
  • Drain the beans and tip them into the dish with the meat.
  • Add all the other ingredients, including the remaining olive oil.
  • Season with salt and lots of cracked black pepper.
  • Stir well, making sure the ribs are mostly under the level of the stock, then cover with foil and bake in the oven for about an hour.
  • By now, the meat should be tender, so take the foil off and give it a last 15 minutes, just to brown the top.
  • Finish with a splosh of olive oil, and serve in bowls with crusty bread.
