Steps:

• Drain the beans and place in a very large clean pan (or 2 large smaller pans) Fill with enough water to cover the beans by around 2 inches and bring to the boil. Do not add salt.
• Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally if you remember to. Now add the cubed steak and the bay leaves and reduce the heat to low.
• In a separate frying pan heat the oil over a high heat, fry the pork belly until browned all over and add to the pot. Fry the raw spicy sausages whole and once browned, slice and add to the pot. Fry the bacon and add to the pot. Lastly add the cooked smoked sausage slices (no need to fry these).
• Cook over a medium heat for 15 minutes, if the mixture is looking a little dry, add more water but do not water log. Reduce the heat to low.
• Now take out a cup full of the beans and water leaving the meat in the pan. Put in the blender with the onion and garlic, whizz until almost smooth (add a bit more tap water if necessary) and add to the pot. (If you don't have a blender, mash the beans and grate in the onion and garlic).
• Add the hot pepper sauce if using, season to taste with salt and pepper and cook over a low heat for an hour or two checking every 15 minutes or so. Do not let the mixture dry out.
• You should have a thick, meaty fragrant stew, if not continue cooking until the excess water has evaporated.
• Serve with white rice and the orange and coriander salad below. Freeze any leftovers within 24hours.
• For the salad, cut the onion into rings or half rings and soak in iced water for at least an hour.
• Cut the oranges on a plate to catch the juice. Slice the top and bottom off each orange and run a knife down under the skin and pith so you end up with a perfectly peeled orange with no white pith. Cut into rounds, remove any pips and arrange on a plate or platter. Season with salt and plenty of pepper.
