Instructions

  • Warm the butter and oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté the onions until they are just browning, about 10 minutes. Add the diced garlic and sauté another minute.
  • Add the fresh chorizo and let the chunks brown on each side.
  • Add the carrot, semi cured chorizo, herbs, and cayenne pepper and stir well, then pour in the white wine and simmer for 1 minute to reduce the wine.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste, and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Add the 3 cups of chicken stock, then bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes uncovered.
  • Add in the fresh spinach and beans, then cover and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use high quality canned goods, especially for the beans and tomatoes. If you can find Spanish ones, it's all the better!
  • Use Spanish chorizo if you can find it. Fresh Mexican chorizo is spicier than its Spanish counterpart.
  • This stew keeps in the fridge for 3-5 days, and freezes well for up to 3 months.
