Chorizo and Butterbean Stew



Here are a few of my favourite things


Where has this been all my life?!

Seriously, this stew packs an epic punch. Forget greying mince and lacklustre gravy, this is a stew like nothing this Irish chick has eaten before. Thick, flavourful, meaty and amazing. The beans are a perfect antidote to the rich chorizo.

The other bonus is that it is so easy to make, making it the perfect work-night, cold-evening dinner. It's what I'm having tonight, and you should too!



serves 2, with leftovers

Ingredients

  •  1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 4 chorizo sausages, sliced
  • 250ml pasatta
  • 75ml red wine
  • 1tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 400g tin butterbeans


Method

Fry the onion in oil for a few minutes and add in the garlic and pepper and fry until softened, making sure not to let things burn.



Add in the chorizo and cook for 5 minutes until cooked through and everything has that delightful orange colour that chorizo brings.



Pour in the pasatta, red wine, paprika and oregano and stir. Mix through the beans, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes until thickened and smelling amazing. 







Serve with thick crusty bread, or new potatoes. On its own is pretty good too.
