Comfort Food….. Recipe
Happy New Year everyone!! May it be a wonderful year for all of you and your families!
Well back to school, back to life and back to normality for us here in Morocco. It was a very short break for us but we did manage to do a day trip or two and a quick trip down the coast to a gorgeous town called Essaouria, which I will tell you all about one of these fine days.
At the moment it is cold and rainy here and there is a definite need for some comfort food! Beans….Spanish style…spicy and hot with some red pepper and chorizo….
250g White Beans, soaked overnight and cooked
Or
- 2 tins Butter Beans
- 2 Tbs Olive Oil
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 leeks, sliced
- 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 Tbs Thyme leaves
- 1 Tsp finely chopped red chilli (or more if you like it hot!)
- 1 large red pepper sliced
- 1 spicy chorizo sausage, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the carrots, leeks, celery, chilli, bay leaf and thyme and fry for a few minutes until softened. Add the garlic, red pepper and chorizo and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Add the prepared beans with about ½ cup of the liquid and the tomatoes and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes are soft.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with some fresh bread.
