Slow-roasted spiced pork loin with black-eyed beans & tomatoes
This dish works as described here, but you can also stuff it into hot flour tortillas or pitta breads to be eaten like a kind of fajita or burrito – superb. Spanish smoked paprika is now widely available, and your butcher can do the trimming and scoring of the pork loin for you to save you some time.
