2 tbsp olive oil
190g Cooks’ Ingredients Cooking Chorizo
1 onion, finely chopped
2 sticks celery, sliced
4 clove/s garlic, chopped
100ml dry white wine
4 ripe tomatoes, chopped
2 x 400g cans Essential Butter Beans, drained
400g can Essential Haricot Beans, drained
400g Swiss chard

Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the chorizo over a high heat to brown on both sides. Turn down the heat and add the onion, celery and garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened but not browned.
Add the white wine, turn up the heat and simmer fast until reduced by ½. Add the tomatoes and beans, season, and return to a gentle heat for 15 minutes until thickened.
Tear the leaves from the chard and shred. Finely chop the stalks. Add the stalks to the pan and cook for a few minutes then stir in the shredded leaves and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chard is tender. Check the seasoning and serve with crusty bread to mop up any juices.

Cook’s tip

This is a great dish to increase your veg intake. Use any mix of green leafy vegetables you have available – spinach, kale, cabbage all work well here. Swap in different beans – cannellini or borlotti are particularly good. And of course, you can use pancetta or bacon lardons instead of chorizo, or go meat free and leave out altogether.
