Jamie Oliver Chorizo Butterbean Stew Ingredients

• 200 grams Chorizo, sliced

• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika

How To Make Jamie Oliver Chorizo Butterbean Stew

1. Prep the Ingredients: Slice the chorizo, red onions, and garlic cloves. You can choose the thickness based on how chunky you want the stew.
2. Sauté the Base: In a medium-sized saucepan, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo, garlic, and red onions. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onions soften and the chorizo releases its oil.
3. Add the Beans and Tomatoes: Pour in the drained butter beans and the tinned tomatoes into the saucepan. Stir to combine.
4. Season the Stew: Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir to mix all the flavors together.
5. Let it Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the stew simmer for 20 minutes.

Recipe Variations

1. Add Chicken: You can add about 200 grams of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and add them along with the chorizo during the sautéing step.
2. Add Pork: Include about 200 grams of pork loin or shoulder, cut into chunks. Add it at the same time as the chorizo to ensure it cooks through.
3. Add Spinach: Toss in a handful or two of fresh spinach leaves about 5 minutes before the stew is done simmering. Stir until wilted.
4. Vegetarian: If you want a vegetarian version, simply remove the chorizo from the recipe. You can also add more vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
