Butter Bean & Chorizo Bake - with smoked paprika & Parmesan crumb topping.5-a-Day Butter Bean & Chorizo Bake

I had a fridge full of various vegetables and a tin of butter beans so this 5-a-Day Butter Bean & Chorizo Bake was the result and I have to say that all plates were cleaned with vigour.

This dish is like a rainbow and delicious with some wholemeal buttered crusty bread.  Just scoop on and enjoy! To make this dish vegetarian simply omit the chorizo or substitute with vegetarian sausage.

Try this 5-a-Day Butter Bean & Chorizo with your own combination of vegetables or herbs.  A great way to clear out the fridge from those odds and sods that get left over.

Ingredients

  • 1 large red onion sliced
  • 75 g chorizo finely diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic crushed
  • 1 large carrot sliced
  • 1 large leek sliced
  • 1 celery stalk chopped
  • 1 large courgette sliced
  • 150 g / 6oz mushrooms sliced
  • 1 x 400g tin butterbeans
  • 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 1 heaped tsp rosemary freshly chopped
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Topping:
  • 2 slices stale wholemeal bread
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan or vegetarian hard cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 190°C.
  • Gently fry the onion, garlic, chorizo, carrot and leek for 4 minutes in the oil.
  • Add the celery, mushrooms and courgettes and fry for a further 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add the beans, tomatoes, tomato puree, rosemary, salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to an oven proof serving dish.
  • Make topping by whizzing up bread with paprika, parmesan and olive oil.
  • Spread over top and bake for 15 minutes until topping is crispy.

Notes

Serve with a warm crusty wholemeal baguette. To make this dish vegetarian, simply omit the chorizo. As an alternative you could use 3 thick slices of bacon (chopped), fry well first then spread over the bottom of the dish ready to be topped with the vegetables and beans.

    This looks so delicious I really like butter beans but am always at a loss as to how to use them.

      I don’t use them nearly often enough but do make a none baked version of this dish to to ring the changes and serve with cous cous or pasta:-)

    A lovely, healthy meal and you can be quite frugal by using up things that need to be used up!

      Brilliant, it’s a very versatile dish. I have served it over a bead of cous cous without even putting it in the oven and leaving off the crust topping:-)
