- Cut the pork steaks into chunky cubes using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife. Discard any large pieces of fat.
- Add to the pan and fry over medium-high heat until browned. Do not crowd the pan or the meat will not brown properly. Transfer to the slow cooker.
- <span></span>Heat the olive oil in the pan and fry the onion and garlic over low heat for 7 minutes. Add the thyme, paprika and season with black pepper.

Notes
- I haven't added any salt in this recipe as the ham hock and lardons tend to be quite salty. Taste and add salt to taste if necessary.
