Stage 1 - 3 min.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Use a large casserole or pan that can go both on the hob and in the oven. Put on medium heat and pour in 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Turn off the heat.

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Stage 8 - 2 hours

Serve with potato purée, for example, and pour a little of the reduced cooking stock over the top.
Remarks
Please note that if you are using cured ham instead of bacon, it may well be even saltier, so do be cautious with the seasoning - taste to make sure.
