Instructions

Cut the pork belly into cubes. Peel the carrot, onion and garlic and roughly chop them.
Fry the carrot, onion and garlic in butter in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add the oxtail and pork belly and brown while stirring.
Add crushed tomato, stock, water, vinegar and spices to the mix. Cover and cook on a low heat until the meat easily falls off the bone, approx. two and a half hours. Stir occasionally.
Remove the meat from the bone and return it to the stew.
Cut the pepper into pieces and add to the pot with the beans. Simmer for about 15 minutes until the pepper is soft.
Add salt, pepper and extra chilli flakes to taste, then a dollop of sour cream.

Enjoy!
