You’ll find bags of flavour in this gorgeous Spicy Pork Stew. We’ve used a nifty blend of super simple store cupboard staples to whip up a sauce that’s so delicious, it tastes just as good as restaurant versions.
A fragrant, aromatic stew, we’ve turned up the heat by stirring in fresh chopped chillies and dried chilli flakes. The warm flavours make this one absolutely perfect to serve on a chillier night, over a fluffy bed of basmati rice or creamy mashed potatoes – to soak up every last drop!
Once everything is combined in your casserole dish, leave it to bubble away until your pork is fall-off-the-fork tender, and your kitchen is filled with amazing smells. We like it best served with coriander sprinkled on top, to really enhance the flavours – but you can skip it, if you’re not a fan.
You can make this dish in an Instant Pot or your slow cooker, if you’d prefer.

Wow I made this in the slow cooker yesterday it was delicious. We love spicy things so I added more chillies and made it a little bit too spicy lol
I will be definitely doing this again, being careful of the chillies.
