Steps:

• Soak the butter beans in a bowl of water overnight.
• The next day, place the beans in a saucepan and cover with plenty of fresh water. Bring to the boil and simmer rapidly for 1 hour until just tender. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in an ovenproof casserole dish and fry the raw chorizo for 2-3 minutes until starting to brown. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the onion, garlic and chilli to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until the onion is beginning to soften.
• Add the chopped tomatoes, stock, thyme and lemon zest and add the chorizo and beans to the casserole. Mix well, bring to the boil and simmer, partially covered, for 1¼ hours or until the sauce is thick and the beans are meltingly tender. Check the seasoning and discard the thyme sprigs.
