Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook pork, turning occasionally, for 10 mins or until brown all over.

  2. Step 2

    Combine the onion, garlic, tomato, paprika and chilli in a slow cooker. Season. Add pork, rind-side up. Cover and cook for 3 hours on high (or 6 hours on low) or until pork is very tender.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer the pork to a plate. Remove and discard the rind and any fat from the pork. Use 2 forks to shred pork. Return to the slow cooker. Stir in beans.

  4. Step 4

    To make the polenta dumplings, combine flour, polenta and parmesan in a bowl. Season. Make a well in centre. Stir in butter and buttermilk. Roll level tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls. Arrange over pork mixture. Cover and cook for 30 mins on high (or 1 hour on low) or until dumplings are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley.
