Chorizo & Bean Stew

One pot stews are perfect for cooler days, and this dish benefits from a long, slow cook. We’ve used our Paella Spice Mix in the stew to enhance the Spanish flavours. This is a great dish to prepare ahead and it re-heats well after storing in the fridge or freezing. To make this vegetarian or vegan, simply add one drained can of chickpeas instead of the chorizo and reduce cooking time to 30 minutes.

Notes

Check how hot your chorizo is, you may like to add some chilli powder if it is mild.
Alternatively, for a mild dish, replace chorizo with sausage of your choice.
