A quick and easy slow cooker recipe using economical ingredients. I've used dried beans that have been pre cooked and then frozen and defrosted. This goes well with crusty bread.

I cooked this for 4 hours on medium though it could be cooked for longer on the low setting.

Chef's notes

Follow the RSPCA Think Pig Checklist to make sure that your pork has come from pigs that have been reared to higher welfare standards.

Peeling ginger

There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
