Method

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pot and soften the onion and garlic for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the pork belly and chorizo ring and cook for 5 minutes until lightly browned.

  3. 3

    Stir in the smoked paprika, bay leaves and stock, then bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 40 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the butter beans and black pudding slices and simmer gently for a further 15 minutes, stirring carefully so the beans stay whole.

  5. 5

    Lift out the chorizo ring, slice it and return to the pot. Check the pork has no pink remaining before serving in deep bowls.
