Ingredients

4 T extra virgin olive oil
2 kg smoked pork shoulder
1 large onion, roughly chopped
1 large leek, thinly sliced
1 stick celery, sliced
1 red chilli, finely chopped
80 g chorizo, diced
1 T cumin seeds, toasted
1 T smoked paprika
450 g black beans, soaked overnight and cooked for 30 minutes
1 litre chicken stock
25 g fresh oregano, roughly chopped
1 x 400 g can whole peeled tomatoes
2 T honey
25 g coriander, roughly chopped

For the creamy rocket hummus:

1 x 400 g can chickpeas, drained
25 g rocket, stalks removed
25 g Italian parsley
1 t ground cumin, toasted
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup water
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based pan and brown the pork shoulder all over. Add the onion, leek, celery, chilli and chorizo and sauté until the vegetables have started to caramelise.

Add the cumin, paprika, black beans and chicken stock. Simmer for 2 hours

Remove the pork shoulder from the pan once soft and shred using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pan with the oregano, tomatoes and honey. Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly. Check the seasoning and stir in the fresh coriander just before serving.

To make the hummus, blend all the ingredients until smooth. Spoon onto the stew and garnish with the basil and chilli. Serve with the green beans.
