Ingredients

  • 500g dried white beans (I used cannelini but white kidney or haricot beans would also work)
  • 450g piece smoked pork belly (or smoked bacon or pancetta; you want it in one piece so you can cut nice chunks), cut into chunks, including the rind.
  • 2 tablespoons tomato puree
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 cloves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • Salt and pepper
