Start the spuds

  • Cut the potatoes into ½cm-thick slices, then cook in boiling water for 12-15 mins, drain and lightly season.

Chop, chop!

  • Meanwhile, peel and finely dice the onions. Deseed the peppers and chop into 2cm squares, and peel and crush the garlic.
  • On a separate board, trim any visible fat from the pork then chop into bite-size chunks.

Ramp up the flavour

  • Spritz a large non-stick saucepan with cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Fry the onions and peppers for 5-7 mins.
  • Tip in the garlic, pork and beans and their water. Cook for 2 mins, then add the paprika and tomato purée and cook for 2 mins.
  • Squeeze in the Hendersonʼs Relish and passata, add the stock powder and pour in 100ml water (150ml for 4 portions). Stir well and simmer for 5-6 mins, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Grill the hotpot

  • Heat your grill to high.
  • Transfer the pork and beans to an ovenproof dish and top with the sliced potatoes. Spritz with cooking spray and grill for 5-7 mins, until golden brown on top.

Finish & serve

  • Trim the broccoli, then cook in boiling water for 3-4 mins and drain.
  • Serve the hotpot with the broccoli.
