Ingredients
Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 300 g black, red or pinto beans
- Water
- 280 g cooking chorizo, whole
- 100 g lean bacon, chopped
- Olive oil
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 8 Cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
- Salt
- Sweet paprika, to taste
- 200 g white rice
Method
- Soak the beans in water overnight, and the following day, drain them and place in fresh water with the chorizo and bacon and simmer for two hours.
- After about an hour, fry the onions and garlic in some olive oil and a little salt and at the last minute add the paprika. Add to the rice and meats.
- When the beans are done, add the rice and boil gently for 20 minutes.
- Just before serving, remove the chorizo, slice, return to the pan and warm through.
Variations
This traditional Spanish dish can vary in many ways depending on the region and the chef. The chorizo can be substituted for pork chops, but if the stew becomes more fatty, add more paprika and water. You can also add other meats such as morcilla or serrano ham. There is also a Cuban (vegetarian) version called Platillo Moros y Cristianos.
Chef's notes
Do cook the chorizo whole and slice at the end. This will prevent the sausage from disintegrating, but allow it to cook thoroughly. --JuliaBalbilla 09:50, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
