This slow-cooked pork with chickpeas is the ultimate comforting meal for a chilly evening. By gently braising a boneless pork shoulder in white wine and aromatic fennel seeds, the meat becomes exceptionally tender, falling apart with the lightest touch. The addition of canned chickpeas allows them to soak up all the savoury juices, creating a hearty, high-protein dish that feels sophisticated yet remains simple to prepare. It is a fantastic option for weekend batch cooking or a relaxed Sunday lunch.

Infused with garlic, bay leaves and a touch of lemon zest, this recipe offers a bright, Mediterranean-inspired flavour profile. Because the flavours develop further over time, this stew is actually better when made a day or two in advance. Serve it in shallow bowls with a crusty loaf of bread to mop up the delicious braising liquid, or alongside some wilted greens for a nutrient-dense dinner.

Ingredients for Slow-Cooked Pork with Chickpeas

1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 כף גרגרי פלפל שחור שלמים
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1.8kg boneless pork shoulder, fat cap trimmed to 1/4"
2 כפות מלח כשר
4 tablespoons extra-virgin oil, divided
1 medium onion, sliced into 1/2"-thick rounds
1 head of garlic, halved crosswise
4 עלי דפנה טריים
2 cups dry white wine
2 (450g) canned chickpeas, rinsed

A spice mill or mortar and pestle

How to make Slow-Cooked Pork with Chickpeas

Coarsely grind red pepper flakes, peppercorns, and fennel seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle.

Generously season pork with salt, sprinkling more heavily on meat than layer of fat. Sprinkle with spice mixture, massaging into all spots so it adheres to pork.

Roll pork as tightly as you can, then tie individual lengths of kitchen twine around roast every 1" or so. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour, or chill overnight.

Preheat oven to 163°C. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large Dutch oven. Cook pork, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10–12 minutes total. Transfer pork to a plate.

Remove pot from heat and dump out fat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and heat over medium. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until exposed flesh turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in bay leaves and return pork to pot. Pour in wine and 475ml water. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Bake, turning pork every 45 minutes or so, until pork is tender and pulls apart easily, 2 1/2–3 hours. Transfer pork to a plate and let cool slightly before tearing into big chunks.

Return pot with braising liquid to low heat and add chickpeas and pork. Cover and cook until chickpeas and pork are warmed through, 12–15 minutes.

Transfer chickpeas, pork, and braising liquid to a platter. Finely zest lemon over and top with parsley.

Stew (without lemon zest and parsley) can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Add lemon zest and parsley just before serving.
