Cooking Steps

  • 1

    Season the pork mince with salt and pepper and 1 tbsp of the smoked paprika. Work the seasoning in with your hands and then shape into small meatballs.

  • 2

    Heat a large pan with a splash of oil and add the meatballs to the pan. Fry for 5 mins until golden brown all over and place into a colander to drain off the excess fat.

  • 3

    In a medium saucepan, add the onion and peppers to the pan and cook until soft. Then add the garlic, fennel seeds and smoked paprika to the pan. Cook for 1 min and add the tomatoes, sugar and vinegar and the meatballs. Simmer for 10 mins.

  • 4

    Give the pan a stir, add the butter beans, and taste for seasoning. Simmer for another 10 mins. Just before serving add the parsley and serve with crusty bread or couscous.
