5-A-Day Butter Bean & Chorizo Bake
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…
