Prep Time: 15 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• ▢ 1 tablespoon butter
• ▢ 1 yellow onion diced
• ▢ 3 cloves garlic diced
• ▢ 4 links fresh chorizo or other Spanish sausage cut into chunks
• ▢ 1 carrot diced
• ▢ 1 2-inch piece semi-cured chorizo
• ▢ 1 teaspoon oregano
• ▢ 1 teaspoon thyme
• ▢ 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• ▢ ¼ cup white wine
• ▢ 1 can diced tomatoes or a freshly diced medium tomato
• ▢ 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• ▢ 3 cups chicken stock
• ▢ 4-6 cups fresh spinach washed
• ▢ 2 cans large white beans (alubias extras) drained and rinsed

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.
