Spanish Chicken With Butter Beans Chorizo And Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken with the smoked paprika, then heat the oil in a heavy casserole and brown the meat all over.
• Lift out the chicken and add the chorizo to the pan.
• When the oil starts to come out of the chorizo, add the onion and cook over a low heat for about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and a tablespoon of parsley.
• Cover and cook gently for another 10 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and beans and give it a stir.
• Add a little water if the mixture is a bit thick.
• Return the chicken to the pot, along with the thyme and bayleaf.
• Turn up the heat and bring up to a simmer.
• Lower the heat to its lowest setting, cover the pot and let it bubble away gently for 30 minutes or so.
• Remove the lid and simmer for another 15 minutes, until the sauce is thick and rich.
• Stir in a generous pinch of parsley and serve with warm crusty bread and a salad.

Steps:

• Slice the chorizo and tip into a large saucepan over a medium heat. Fry gently for 5 mins or until starting to turn dark brown. Add the tomatoes and butter beans, bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins. Swirl through the pesto, season lightly and ladle into four bowls.

Steps:

• Soak the beans for at least 4 hrs or overnight in a large bowl with plenty of water to cover. Next day, rinse and drain, then put in a large heavy based pan with the onion, paprika, herb bundle and chicken. Pour over enough water or stock to cover, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 45 mins.
• Remove the chicken to a plate, then add the potatoes and chorizo to the pan. Continue cooking for 30 mins until the beans and potatoes are tender.
• Discard the skin and bones from the chicken and tear into large chunks. Return the chicken to the pan with the spinach and simmer for 5 mins.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan. Cook the chorizo, onion and chicken over a high heat for 5 mins. Add the tomato and cook for a further 2-3 mins until pulpy.
• Stir in the beans, potato and stock. Bring to the boil, then cover and gently simmer for 20 mins until the potato is soft and the chicken cooked through. Stir through the parsley and serve. You can cool and freeze the stew for up to 2 months. To serve, defrost and heat through thoroughly.

Steps:

• Squeeze the garlic out of the skins and whisk together with the oil, lemon zest, juice, smoked paprika and some seasoning in a large bowl. Add the butter beans, peppers, tomatoes and rocket, and give everything a good mix. Divide between lunchboxes. Top with the chicken on one side and crumble over the feta.
