Try throwing a quartered potato in there.
It should soak up some of the salt. Just remove it when you're ready to eat.

Add a couple of peeled whole potatoes. They will absorb the extra salt.

Or, ad some sugar.

chuck it away lol there's not much you can do when you've added too much salt.
take the pork out and make another sauce.

I have always heard that a raw unpeeled potato trhown in works but I have never tried it or you could add more tomato paste and hopefully that will take away from the salt flavour

add potatoes

Add potatoes

It's scientifically proven that potatoes soak up the salt. :D

add more tomatoes or tomato sauce to increase the base volume...

SOUP OR STEW TOO SALTY
Make sure you never measure seasonings right over the pot or bowl. It's just too easy for your hand to slip, the cat to run under your legs, or someone to startle you. If it's already happened, we used to think that adding a raw cut up potato added to the soup would absorb much of the additional salt, but recent research has disproven this. Really the only way to diminish the salt is to add more of the other ingredients to the soup; in other words, add more of every ingredient except the salt. This is also the only way to fix recipes when you've added too much hot sauce, Tabasco, cayenne pepper, or chilies.

You can add lemon juice to cut the salt. No fishing out potatoes, but you'll need to add more spices, cause the acid lemon juice will also neutralize the chili powder and peppers.

Add more chilli, they'll never notice the extra salt.

Not a master chef, but I know you can put a peeled potato in there to absorb some of the salt. Then remove it before you eat it.

Try adding a bit of everything else, i.e.---another can of tomatos, more beans, more pork. Serve it over rice and don't salt the water. If it's way too much salt, there's no easy fix.

Potato in the chili. Let it simmer and absorb for a while.
