Butter Bean and Chorizo Cassoulet

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a lovely day. The weather seems to have gone a little crazy today: one minute the sun is out, the next it is raining/hailing. I have been busy carrying on with my blanket and I am gradually getting faster at crocheting - I will post an update picture soon!

Today I decided to make a dish I have done a couple of times - a butter bean and chorizo cassoulet. This is a lovely, hearty dish that is really versatile. You could easily leave the meat out for a yummy vegetarian option and you could use a whole variety of beans!

To make, you will need:

• 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
• 1 tin of butter beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 pack of chopped chorizo (you could either use a chorizo sausage or pre-cut slices)
• Salt, pepper and oregano (to season)
• Fresh basil - optional!

1. Gently fry the beans and chorizo in a pan on a medium heat.
2. Add the tomatoes and seasonings. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
3. Serve with a sprig of fresh basil.

I like to serve this with a portion of cous cous or some fresh crusty bread!

What do you think? I'd love to hear your comments!

Thanks for reading! Lauren x
