Chorizo, tomato and bean casserole recipe
Chorizo, tomato and bean casserole
serves 4
A favourite dish for Norfolk smallholder John Kenny is the chorizo, tomato and bean casserole which John created one evening when stumped for something to cook for tea! “My wife has what I call a proper job, so I do all the cooking,” he laughs. “I looked in the cupboards and we had a tin of flageolet beans, a tin of chopped tomatoes and in the fridge were some of our own chorizo sausages. I threw them all in a pot with some onions and herbs and cooked them for about 20 minutes. When we ate the meal with some pasta, even I was surprised at how good it tasted.”
