ChorizoBeans

Chorizo and Black Beans

The first version of this dish came about when we were having a South American inspired feast for a New Years Eve gathering. I wanted a side that wasn’t just a salad to go along with all the meat that was planned. I knew I wanted black beans in the dish somewhere as well as the smokiness of paprika. What to make?  After a bit of pondering and seeing what was in the fridge, this Chorizo and Black Beans dish was created. It was served as one of many sides to accompany rotisserie beef and pork and was a huge hit!

Since then, it has become a staple in our house. It’s quick and easy to make and very family friendly. And it’s such a versatile dish. Served with rice and avocado, it is a fantastic simple weeknight meal.  Want something different for your tacos or burritos? Use this as a filling. Or make it for breakfast served on toast with a fried egg on top. I’m also keen to experiment with the flavours and turn it into a soup – watch this space!

ChorizoBeans

Ingredients

2 chorizo
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 red onion
2 celery stalks
1 large carrot
1-2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 tins of black beans, drained
1 tin tomatoes
1-2 C chicken stock or water
Lime, avocado, coriander and rice to serve

Instructions

1
Cut the chorizo in half lengthways then slice across into half cm slices. Cut the vegetables into a small dice.
2
Cook the chorizo over a medium heat until beginning to crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
3
Using the same pan add all the vegetables and cook for a few minutes. Add the paprika and cook another minute.
4
Add in the drained black beans and tinned tomatoes. Fill the tomato tin with water or stock and add to the pan along with a good pinch of salt. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables and beans are soft and the sauce reduced, adding the chorizo back to the dish after about 10 minutes. You can add more water or stock if the sauce has reduced too much.
5
Serve with rice or quinoa, some smashed avocado, lime wedges and a handful of coriander.
