Recipe tips

You can use any beans, such as kidney beans, blackeyed peas or mixed beans.
Chunks of chicken or turkey work well instead of pork.
For a veggie version, add 200g button mushrooms and marinated tofu pieces in place of the meat.
Freezing instructions: Suitable for freezing once cooked. Defrost in the fridge and reheat until piping hot throughout.
