BUTTER BEANS WITH CHORIZO AND PANCETA

Butter Beans with Chorizo and Panceta
READY IN

4.5 hours (+ 12h soaking)

COOKING TIME

4 hours

PREP TIME

30 minutes

SERVES

4 people

ingredients

  • 500g Navarrico butter beans
IN STOCK
  • or 500g dried white beans
  • 1 onion
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 a head of garlic
  • 250g panceta diced
IN STOCK
  • 250g Brindisa cooking chorizo
IN STOCK
  • 2 ripe tomatoes
  • 1 tsp La Chinata sweet pimentón
IN STOCK

METHOD

  1. If dried, soak the beans overnight in cold water for 12 hours.
  2. Once ready to cook put the beans into a large casserole pot with half an onion and a bay leaf. Cover the beans with cold water and bring the boil, then turn down to a simmer. The beans will take 2 hours; be sure to skim the foam that forms on the surface every now and again. If using jarred beans, this step can be ignored.
  3. While this cooks, dice the remaining onion and cook in a large frying pan with the half-head of garlic.
  4. Once this has softened and caramelised, remove and fry the chunks of panceta and chorizo in a dry pan.
  5. When cooked and crisped, reintroduce the onions and garlic and grate in the tomatoes before adding the paprika.
  6. Add this mix to your stewing beans after 1 hour of cooking and allow to simmer for 1 hour. If using jarred beans, cook until the tomatoes have reduced slightly, then season to taste and serve.

PAELLA VALENCIANA
PAELLA VALENCIANA

Paella Valenciana is the original paella, deeply rooted in the traditions of Valencia. Its name comes from the Valencian word for pan, reflecting the dish’s humble beginnings when it was cooked outdoors over a wood fire. The classic recipe brings together chicken, rabbit, beans, saffron and rice, with each ingredient adding its own character without overpowering the rest. A truly great paella is crowned with the socarrat - the golden, caramelised crust at the base of the rice. In Valencia, it’s still enjoyed the traditional way: eaten straight from the pan with wooden spoons.

CIDER-GLAZED CHISTORRA CHORIZO
CIDER-GLAZED CHISTORRA CHORIZO

Enhance flavour-packed chorizo by poaching it in cider, a classic Asturian tapa. For a twist, try using chistorra - a long, thin Basque chorizo. Cut into 2cm pieces, fry until the skin colours, then cover the chistorra with cloudy cider and simmer. The longer it cooks, the richer and more glaze-like the sauce. Serve with plenty of bread; your guests will want to mop up every drop of the sauce.
