Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g (7 oz) chorizo, sliced
- 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) butter beans, drained
- 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) tomatoes
- 2 red onions, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Slice chorizo, red onions, and garlic into uniform pieces to ensure consistent cooking and texture.
- Sautéing: Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add chorizo, garlic, and red onions. Stir frequently to prevent burning and encourage caramelization, cooking for 4-5 minutes until onions become translucent and chorizo releases its rich oils.
- Combining Ingredients: Drain butter beans and add to the pan along with canned tomatoes. Gently incorporate smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to elevate the flavor profile.
- Simmering: Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and allow the stew to simmer for 15-20 minutes, enabling the flavors to meld and ingredients to become tender.
Notes
- Prep Like a Pro: Uniform slicing of chorizo, onions, and garlic ensures consistent cooking and prevents uneven texture in the final dish.
- Oil Temperature Matters: Heat olive oil until it shimmers to create the perfect base for sautéing ingredients without burning.
- Flavor Layering Technique: Allow chorizo to release its oils and onions to caramelize, building a deep, rich flavor foundation for the stew.
- Seasoning Sweet Spot: Precisely measure smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to balance the stew’s robust taste without overpowering the delicate butterbean flavor.
