Time 50m

Yield Serves 6 - 8 as a side

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ tbsp vegetable oil
200g chorizo , chopped
100g smoked bacon , chopped
4 shallots , sliced
2 thyme sprigs
4 bay leaves
1 tsp smoked paprika
400g can black beans
400g can red kidney beans
2 dried ancho chillies
1 tsp chipotle sauce
400g can chopped tomatoes

Steps:

  • Put the oil, chorizo, bacon and shallots in a good-sized saucepan. Turn on the heat and cook for 5 mins, stirring every so often. When the shallots are soft and the bacon smells cooked, add the herbs and paprika, and mix well.
  • Add the beans and the chillies, give it a good stir and cook for 2 mins so the beans are coated with the mixture.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, plus 100ml water and some seasoning, then give everything a good stir. Bring to the boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for 30 mins, stirring, until it's thick. Once ready, remove the bay, thyme and chillies, then serve.
