Spiced bean stew
(Serves 2)
● Splash of olive oil
● 50 g finely diced chorizo (optional)
● 1 small onion, sliced
● 1 garlic clove, chopped
● 1 heaped tsp paprika
● 1 pinch of chilli flakes
● 1 tin of tomatoes
● 200 ml vegetable stock
● Salt & pepper
● 1 tin of cannellini beans, drained
● 50 g greens (chopped spinach,
kale, courgettes)
● Juice of ½ a lemon
● 15 g flat leaf parsley, chopped
HEAT the olive oil in a pan and fry the chorizo (if using) on a high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly. Turn the heat down and add chopped onion. Saute over a low heat for 10 minutes until soft. Add garlic, paprika and chilli flakes and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the tinned tomatoes and vegetable stock and season. Let this simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavours develop and create a sauce. Add the beans and cook for 5 minutes, before adding the greens, lemon and parsley. Put the lid on, let the greens wilt for a couple of minutes and serve.
