Notes
- You can adapt the vegetables that are used in this dish to use up whatever you have in your fridge.
- To make this vegan, leave out the chorizo. You might want to add a little extra paprika for some more flavour.
- You could also swap the beans for leftover chicken or fry up some king prawns, or even add them to the beans.
- We used canned beans, however you could use dried. Just make sure that you soak them overnight, then drain and rinse them and boil for around 50 minutes.
