Slow cooked chilli may put you off, but please don't let it! This recipe is made with pork shoulder steaks and baked beans instead of the normal minced beef and kidney beans...and it's delicious. Prepare ahead and make this the night before for your own evening meal or if you're having a party (especially a Halloween one)!! The warmth from the ground cumin and chilli flakes is lovely, especially having had overnight for the flavours to develop.
The recipe is taken from the November 2017 Asda Good Living Magazine - Miguel Barclay has a section in the magazine 'Miguel's Firework Feast' where he has a selection of recipes under £1 per serving...how good does that sound!
Miguel Barclay has some really nice ideas in his books and we have even tried making some of the £1 meals as a sort of tapas which works well - the latest book we have is Miguel Barclay's Super Easy One Pound Meals.
Tips
- After making it the first time, I found it to be quite saucy...which was fine...but if you fancy bulking it up a bit with more beans, feel free to add a tin of drained and rinsed kidney or cannellini beans.
- This slow cooked chilli recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.

You'll find all of these and more in this delicious selection of Spanish recipes!!
