Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2 Medium Onions (diced)
  • 225g Spanish Chorizo
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
  • 400g Sweet Potato (diced)

  • 1 tin 400g Borlotti Beans
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

1. Add the diced onion with some olive oil into the bottom of a dutch oven or casserole dish. Allow to saute for a while until the onion starts to brown
2. Meanwhile, cut the chorizo into 'coins' and then add to the onions. Saute over a medium-low heat until the chorizo starts to release its oils
3. Add in the garlic, paprika and chopped sweet potato, then stir through and cook for a couple of minutes
4. Add in the passata and chopped tomatoes
5. Drain the beans and add to the mixture, then the salt and fresh thyme leaves. Stir until everything is well mixed
6. Turn the heat down to low then place the lid on and cook for 20 minutes. If you want it a bit thicker, simmer for a further 10 minutes with the lid off. Serve with crusty fresh bread
