I adapted this recipe from the BBC Good Food website click here to make it Slimming world friendly. This is definitely one of the nicest one-pot stews I’ve made, and it’s full of Speed and Protein so great news for your weight-loss! The orange and cocoa add a deep richness, the chilli a little hint of spice and sweet potato lifts it with sweetness and the black beans and pork make it filling and satisfying.
