Step 1

Place flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Turn pork in flour to coat and shake off excess. Reserve excess flour.

Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook pork, turning, for 6 minutes or until browned all over. Transfer to a 3L (12 cup) capacity slow-cooker.

Step 3

Heat remaining oil in pan over medium heat. Cook eggplant, onion, capsicum, garlic, thyme and sage for 5 minutes or until onion softens. Sprinkle over reserved seasoned flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Transfer to cooker with beans. Combine stock and tomato paste in a jug and pour over pork and vegetables. Top with zucchini. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or until pork is very tender.

Step 4
