This dish is a simple version of my ‘Pork, Chorizo & Black Bean Stew’, but I didn’t add Black Beans because I wanted to serve it with ‘Cuban Inspired Black Bean Rice’. This dish is absolutely easy to cook. Alter the amount of Ground Chilli to suit your taste. I added 1/4 teaspoon and it was just right for me.
