Durban Style Pork & Sugar Bean Curry

Durban Style Pork & Sugar Bean Curry

I was inspired by a really great looking pork & bean curry cooked by group member, Paul S, so decided to give it a try.

I really enjoy a pork curry, it ticks all the boxes for me and I really enjoy a sugar bean curry, so this was a no brainer.

I really enjoyed this cook. Experimentation is the key that opens the lock of learning.

Quantities are per 1kg meat and can be scaled to your requirements.

I pre-cooked the sugar beans, which had soaked for 6 hours, in an electric pressure cooker for 12 minutes.

I add salt with the tomatoes and check again before and after potatoes, and at the end.
