Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C.
  • Mix chopped garlic and rosemary in a bowl.
  • Make incisions in the pork and stuff them with the garlic and rosemary mixture.
  • Place the pork bone-side down in a roasting tin containing the white wine.
  • Rub the skin with olive oil, season, and roast for two hours.
  • Baste the meat occasionally with juices and splashes of water to prevent burning.
  • Rest the cooked pork in a warm place for 20 minutes before carving.
  • Slice the meat into 2.5cm thick portions and keep warm on a plate.
  • Boil the roasting tin juices, scraping the residue, and pour into a jug.
  • Fry garlic and sage in olive oil until the garlic is golden.
  • Add the beans, passata, tomato purée, and sugar to the pan.
  • Simmer the bean mixture gently for 20 minutes and adjust seasoning before serving.
