Method
step 1
Heat ½ the oil in a casserole, season the pork and fry, in batches, for 3-4 minutes until browned. Scoop onto a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the remaining oil and fry the onion, pepper and garlic with a large pinch of salt for 10 minutes until soft. Add the spices and tomato purée, and cook for a few minutes. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and 250ml of water, add the pork back in, season and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down low, put on a lid and simmer gently for 2 hours.
step 2
Tip in the beans and simmer for another 30 minutes or until the pork is very tender.

Heat the grains according to pack instructions and divide between bowls. Spoon over the pork and beans, and top with a little parsley and soured cream.
