Chorizo, Cannellini Bean and Butternut Squash Stew

 

Big bold Spanish flavours…

This hearty stew is perfect for anyone who loves big bold Spanish flavours. And it’s so simple to make! All you need to do is fry onion and garlic, then add chorizo and butternut squash. Next, add a tin of chopped tomatoes and some chicken stock. Simmer for 10 minutes, then add a tin of cannellini beans, and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Finally, stir in some chopped fresh parsley and serve!

What to serve with chorizo stew?

I like to serve this heart chorizo stew with a big pile of buttery mashed potato and a large helping of green vegetables. (I find kale goes particularly well.) But if you wanted to make this a one pot, you could simply serve it with some crusty white bread. Alternatively, this stew also goes well with rice.

 

What to drink with chorizo stew?

A hearty Spanish-style stew requires a hearty Spanish wine! I recommend a Rioja crianza, or a similar style wine from a nearby region – like Navarra. Alternatively, go for a Grenache/Garnacha or Tempranillo (the grape varieties in Rioja) from elsewhere in the world.

Can you reheat chorizo stew?

Absolutely! Put any leftovers into an airtight container and place in the fridge, where they will keep for up to 3 days. To reheat, tip the chorizo stew into a large saucepan, add a splash of water and reheat for 5-10 minutes, until piping hot all the way through.

You can also reheat this chorizo stew in the microwave, if you prefer.

 

Can you freeze chorizo stew?

This easy chorizo stew freezes beautifully and so makes a great batch cooking / fill the freezer recipe. Put the cooked and cooled chorizo stew into an airtight container and place in the freezer, where it will keep for up to 1 month. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat as above.

    I am just the same! I have a scrapbook of neatly pasted recipes (from my pre-children days) and a huge stash of ripped out pages from magazines that I’ll almost definitely never make! This sounds like a great stew – might try making a veggie version. #CookBlogShare

      Oooh – I love the idea of having an actual scrapbook – I never managed that even before children! I reckon this would work very nicely in veggie form – maybe with some Quorn sausages and a teaspoon of paprika? Thanks for your kind comments. Eb x

    I love butternut squash Eb, it’s so naturally sweet and comforting so served as a key component in your stew sounds wonderful. I’d clearly have to change the chorizo (sorry) , but with a few chunks of vegetarian sausage or ‘meat’ balls Mr E would be a very happy man…..especially as you’ve served it with mashed potato – he always says you can never have enough mash (well any potato really) 😉 I’m hoping to make Sarah’s chocolate Potato cakes but the challenge will be to hide a portion of mash from him!

      Thanks, Angela. I think it would convert into a veggie version very easily. I’m so with Mr E – I love mashed potato – it’s pretty much the ultimate comfort food! Good luck hiding mash long from him long enough to make those Sarah’s cakes! Eb x

    Ha ha! That has to be the story of so many foodie kitchens….. I have large notepads bulging with ripped out sheets from magazines (from years ago) waiting to be stuck in…… doh! It’s never actually going to happen is it?!
    Great looking stew though! x

      I thought it would get better when I started food blogging, but it’s actually got worse – now I don’t have time to do anything with my cuttings because I’m too busy with all my blogging jobs and creating my own recipes! Gah! Thanks for your kind comments. Eb x

      Mine too…and me for that matter! It’s a really great ingredient, isn’t it – very useful for flavouring stews and casseroles! Thanks for commenting! Eb x
