Chipotle pork with bean stew
Background
This chipotle pork with bean stew is on the table within 30 minutes – even quicker if you make the stew part ahead. It’s a bit spicy, but you can use mild chipotle pasta, if a mild version is preferred. Serve it with rice or flat-bread and a crispy salad on the side.
