Chorizo Cannellini Beans And Chick Peas Recipes

CHICKPEAS AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• Put garbanzo beans into a large container; add enough cool water to cover by several inches. Soak beans 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Halve both the red bell pepper and green bell pepper from top to bottom. Remove and discard the stem, seeds, and ribs. Arrange pepper halves with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast peppers under the preheated broiler until their skins have blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes; transfer to a bowl and tightly seal bowl with plastic wrap to steam the peppers as they cool until the skins are loosened, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Slice peppers.
• Heat canola oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook and stir potatoes in hot oil until browned, about 10 minutes; add chorizo and continue to cook and stir until chorizo is hot, 3 to 5 minutes more. Stir peppers, onion, garlic cloves, paprika, and salt into the potato mixture; cook, stirring infrequently, until the onion softens, about 10 minutes more.
• Stir soaked garbanzo beans into the mixture. Pour sherry over everything. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the pot, and cook at a simmer until the beans are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

CHORIZO, CANNELLINI BEANS AND CHICK PEAS

Steps:

• Soften up the onions in a heavy bottom stew pot or pan over a medium heat for a few minutes with a few glugs of olive oil but don't let them catch. Once softened, add your Chorizo, garlic, anchovies and bay leaves. Once the Chorizo has softened a bit and let out some of that rusty oil (about 5 or 6 minutes) add your celery sticks, tomato puree and thyme.
• At this point add some salt and pepper but go easy on the salt, you can adjust later plus the olives and anchovies do a fine job of adding much needed seasoning. Throw in your beans, peas, olives, the paprika and a few sprigs of lemon thyme. Now, give it few minutes of stirring to combine all of the flavours but go gently or you'll destroy the Cannellini Beans.
• Add the white wine. Give it a minute to simmer then pour in just enough stock to cover. I used chicken stock because we had a batch left over from another night and it worked perfectly.
• Pop half a small lemon into the pot to balance the richness. Get it to a simmer, turn the heat right down and cover. Walk away for 30 minutes.
• Give it a stir, turn the heat up a touch and leave it uncovered for a further five to ten minutes. Use this time to chop some parsley and slice up some sourdough bread.
• And there it is. Along with the parsley we grated some Manchego over the top to feel super Spanish. This will feed four people with the addition of a basic salad, or two very greedy people.

CHICKPEA AND CHORIZO STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and fry gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned.
• While the onion is cooking, cut the chorizo into roughly 1.5cm/½in slices. Stir the chorizo slices and hot smoked paprika into the onion and garlic mixture and fry for a further 1-2 minutes.
• Add the tinned tomatoes, water and tomato purée to the pan and stir well. Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering.
• Drain the chickpeas in a sieve and rinse under cold water. Add them to the tomato mixture and return it to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the volume of sauce has reduced by about half.
• Add the kale to the stew and continue to simmer for a further 1-2 minutes, or until tender. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• To serve, ladle the stew into serving bowls and serve with crusty bread.

ANDALUSIAN STYLE CHORIZO WITH BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Fry the chorizo in a large frying pan, until it releases its oil. Add the onion, celery, red pepper and garlic, and cook until softened.
• Stir in the wine, plum tomatoes and seasoning and simmer for 15 mins stirring occasionally to break up the tomatoes, until the sauce thickens.
• Add the beans or chickpeas and simmer for a further 5 mins. Sprinkle generously with parsley and serve hot, or just warm.

CANNELLINI BEANS WITH CHORIZO, GARLIC AND SAGE

Steps:

• Drain the soaked cannelloni beans and place them in a large saucepan.
• Add in enough cold water to cover the beans and bring to the boil.
• Cook briskly until tender, around 1 hour, topping up with more water as required. Drain the beans, reserving the cooking water.
• Heat a splash of olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Add in the onion, garlic and chorizo.
• Fry, stirring, for 2 minutes.
• Add in the beans and sage and pour over enough of the reserved cooking water to just cover the beans.
• Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper and cook, stirring often, until the liquid has evaporated, around 10 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle with olive oil. Serve warm with a little grated Pecorino cheese.

CHICKEN WITH CHORIZO AND CANNELLINI

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring the stock to a gentle boil, lower in the chicken and cook, still gently, for 10 minutes or until all trace of pink has disappeared. Pierce with the point of a knife to check.
• Meanwhile, cook the kale, which you've roughly torn into pieces, in boiling salted water for about 5 minutes (if it's tough) and drain. Then heat the oil in a frying pan, throw in the chopped chorizo, add the drained cannellini and, stirring, warm everything through, moistening with a couple of tablespoons or so of the chicken stock - or more if you want this soupier.
• Tip the beans and chorizo into a shallow bowl or lipped plate, roughly arrange the kale on top (drizzling with a little extra-virgin olive oil if you like) and then lift the cooked chicken out of the stock with a spatula and sit this on top of the kale. Sprinkle the pale chicken breast with the paprika and gaze at your Spanish still life of a supper before eating it.

CHORIZO, TOMATO AND CANNELLINI BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes in a mixing bowl with the scallions and drained cannellini beans.
• Season with sea salt and a little freshly ground black pepper; then drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil and the vinegar and mix to combine.
• Heat a frying pan (without any oil - chorizo simply does not need it) and add the chorizo.
• Cook gently for a couple of minutes on each side. The chorizo will secrete a lot of oil. Do not throw it away! It is delicious if you want to fry a few potatoes in it. Or, add some of the oil to the salad!
• To serve; transfer the tomato, bean and onion mixture to a serving dish and top with the hot chorizo. Scatter over the chopped parsley and serve at once.
