Remove the meat and set aside. Add the onion, garlic and chilli to the pan. Pour in a little olive oil if it needs more. Season with salt and pepper and fry for 8 mins or until soft.rn

Add the meat, bay leaves, vinegar and drained, cooked beans. Cover with just enough water to cover (about 650ml). Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a low simmer.
