Ingredients

• 500 grams Broad beans (fresh or frozen)
• 200 grams Spanish chorizo (sliced into bite-sized pieces)
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 100 milliliters Water or chicken stock
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the broad beans: If using fresh beans, shell them and blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and, if necessary, remove the outer skin by pinching and slipping the beans out. If using frozen beans, thaw them and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced chorizo and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to release its oils and turns slightly crispy. Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika to the pan. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 6

Return the chorizo to the pan and stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 7

Add the prepared broad beans to the pan. Stir everything together and pour in the water or chicken stock.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender and the flavors are well combined.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the heat and garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve hot as a tapa with crusty bread or as a main dish alongside rice or a fresh salad.
