Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onion until softened. Stir in the spices and cook for a few secs. Pour in the tomatoes and 2 cans of water, then crumble in the stock cube. Bring to the boil and add the chorizo and chicken thighs. Push the chicken under the liquid, cover and simmer for 20 mins.
  2. Stir the peppers into the pan, then cook for 20 mins more. Tip in the cannellini beans.
  3. To eat now: Warm through to heat the beans. Toss the avocado with the lime and some salt and serve on top of the casserole with a sprinkling of coriander. Top each portion with soured cream. Serve with rice, jacket potatoes or a handful of spicy tortilla chips.
  4. To eat later: Cool and keep in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Warm on top of the stove until bubbling and serve as above.

    This was very tasty! Took advice from other raters and left out the water - was perfect. Had it with jacket potatos. Made the recipe and very pleased to have some left over for work lunches. Will definately be making this again - fantastic and healthy too x

    This was really nice, I used kidney beans and will definitely be making this again with some extra spices for a bit of a kick!

    A firm favourite in our house! We add the 2 cans of water and are quite generous with the spices, then put in the slow cooker to cook for a couple of hours - it comes out absolutely gorgeous, just melts in your mouth. Definately a dish that we make time and time again.

    Really tasty, although I made a few changes - I cooked the chorizo at the beginning and used the oil from that to cook the onions, used whole cumin seeds and smoked paprika rather than ground cumin and chilli powder, and used kidney beans instead of canellini beans. OK, it wasn't really this recipe at all after all that, but it was still very good! I found I did need to add the water, and some more later on as it was boiling dry - I guess it depends on the type of pan you have.
