Arrocina Beans With Chorizo, Morcilla, And Pork Belly

• Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
• Maldon salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/3 pounds pork belly
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 2 fennel bulbs, diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 large shallots, peeled and diced
• 1 large leek, the white part diced
• 2 sticks of celery, diced
• 1 head of garlic, cloves peeled and finely chopped
• 6 ounces morcilla curada
• 3 dried choricero peppers, soaked in warm water for 2 hours
• 3 dried guindilla chillies, cut in half lengthways
• 5 fresh bay leaves
• 1 small bunch of fresh thyme
• 1 pound Arrocina (white haricot) beans, soaked in cold water overnight
• 2 quarts homemade chicken stock
• 1 3/4 pounds cooking chorizo, sliced
• 6 ounces morcilla de Burgos, skin removed, sliced
• 1 Savoy cabbage, finely sliced with a mandolin and lightly braised in butter and a touch of water

1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Rub the meaty side of the pork belly with a little of the olive oil and season it with salt, pepper, and cumin seeds. Put it into a large roasting pan, skin side down, and roast in the oven for 2 hours. Remove from the oven and cut the pork belly into 3 centimeter strips across its width. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, heat a large pan or casserole over a medium heat and add 1 tablespoon or so of olive oil. Add the vegetables and garlic and cook gently, stirring, for 10 minutes.
3. Crumble the morcilla curada into the mix. Drain the choricero peppers and slice, removing the seeds. Add the choriceros, chillies, bay leaves, and thyme and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the drained Arrocina beans and the chicken stock and simmer very gently, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beans are soft. Heat a little more olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and morcilla de Burgos and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, then add to the stew.
4. Finally add the sliced pork belly and cooked Savoy cabbage, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
