Method

If you have a sear or braise function on the slow cooker, switch it on. Add the oil, onion, garlic and red chilli, followed by the pork, chorizo and bacon, then fry for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Or do this in a large frying pan over a high heat, then transfer to the slow cooker.

Add the beans, thyme, bay, vinegar and stock, cover with a lid and cook on low for at least 4 hours until the pork is fall-apart tender, the sauce tastes well balanced and is a rich red.

Stir in the orange juice, season to taste and scatter over the coriander to serve.
