This Spanish style chorizo and white bean stew makes for a warming and delicious one pot meal. It\u2019s super easy to make and is packed with flavor. Chorizo and white butter beans are a beautiful match with the flavor of the sausage together in a rich tomato sauce spiced with cumin and smoked paprika. Hearty, warming and perfect for any fall or winter night.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that I am a bean lover, but after making my paella recipe<\/a> with prawns and chorizo, I realised how much I loved freshly prepared chorizo (a tapas favorite!). So it inspired me to explore yet another way to enjoy this traditional Spanisch sausage.<\/p>\n

Choosing the right chorizo for this stew<\/h2>\n

There are a number of different types of chorizo \u2014 sweet or spicy, dried\/cured and fresh.<\/p>\n

For this chorizo and white bean stew, you will want to use the fresh, raw type that needs to be cooked. And I recommend authentic Spanisch chorizo (Chorizo Iberico de Bellota) from a butcher you trust. It will probably consist of Iberico pork, but if not, the most important thing is that it is sustainable and responsibly sourced. So ask and get to know your butcher.<\/p>\n

How to make this chorizo and white bean stew<\/h2>\n

I like to use organic butter beans \u201eBianchi di Spagna\u201c from a can for an effortless dinner. But if you have time and plan ahead, I recommend preparing dried jumbo white beans .<\/p>\n

Preparing dried beans vs. canned<\/h3>\n

You just need to soak the beans in a large bowl of water overnight, then the next day boil them before you prepare this recipe. If you have pressure cooker<\/a> (or an instant pot<\/a>) this will be a big time saver, otherwise, you need to plan an hour or so. You can also boil the beans a day before and store them in the fridge. Great thing is, you can make a batch, plan them for other meals, or even freeze the cooked beans in individual portions for another day.<\/p>\n

Pulling this dish together in just a few steps<\/h3>\n

To make the stew, well that\u2019s easy. I mean really easy. This recipe really only relies on high quality ingredients for a delicious dish. No special cooking methods are needed. You just need to saute the onions, chili, spices and chorizo sausage with some olive oil in a large pot. Then you add half a glass of your favorite red wine (or at least a drinkable one), reduce it, then add the tomato, a couple generous pinches of sugar and let the simmering do the magic. Add the beans, give it a few more minutes, and then voila \u2014 dinner is served!!<\/p>\n
