Chorizo Baked Beans on Toast
Description
This recipe uses diced and sliced chorizo cooked with garlic and onions until fragrant and browned. Cannellini beans, crushed tomatoes, water, sugar, and spices including paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper create a simmering baked beans mixture. The sauce develops flavor as it bubbles gently for about ten minutes, thickening slightly and blending the spices with the meaty chorizo and beans.
The beans and chorizo mixture is spooned over toasted sourdough slices to add a crunchy contrast and mild flavor, complementing the spicy richness. A fried or poached egg on top adds creaminess and protein, balancing the spices and textures. This dish works well for breakfast or brunch but can also serve as a filling meal any time of day.
The recipe notes clarify the difference between raw and cured chorizo to help choose and prepare it appropriately. Adjust seasoning as preferred and use additional water if the sauce thickens too much while simmering.
Ingredients
Baked Beans

To Serve

Instructions
- Dice most of the chorizo, leaving some in slice form if you want to use them for garnish like I did.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over high heat.
- Add the garlic and onions and cook for 2 minutes or until starting to turn translucent.
- Add the chorizo (all of it) and saute until the chorizo is nicely browned.
- Add the remaining Baked Beans ingredients. Bring to simmer, then turn it down to medium low and leave to bubble away gently for 10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if it gets too thick to your liking.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
To Serve
- Pile the Baked Beans onto toasted sourdough and top with a fried egg.
Notes
- Raw chorizo must be cooked before eating, while cured chorizo can be eaten without cooking.
- Using raw chorizo offers better value and is recommended for this recipe.
- About 200g (approximately 1½ chorizos) is the quantity to prepare four servings.
- Adjust seasoning and sauce thickness to your liking during cooking by adding water or spices as needed.
