  Didn't know which paprika to use and opted for hot, thought I'd ruined it but I made it yesterday for tonight and it was a lot less hot today than yesterday, so try it with sweet paprika it you don't like too hot food. Clean bowls all round, it was delicious and would do again. Used Sainsburys tinned beans, just drained and rinsed them and then used Knorr 'Touch of Taste' Chicken as stock, it was much quicker. A great meal!

  I've used peas instead of spinach, which was nice. With smoked paprika, it is delicous!

  Delicious. Used tinned cannellini beans and didn't have any thyme. I sautéd the ingredients then added the paprika to infuse the flavour a little more before adding the water. We loved this and will definitely do again. Yum!

  After living for ten years in Spain I got latched on to the wonderful flavours of the spanish cuisine, particulary on their soups and stews, so I couldn't wait to try this one from the BBC. Result ? - Fantastic flavour and very authentic when compared with similar dishes in Spain. The only thing I altered was that I changed the cannnellini beans for ordinary Butter beans, because they are bigger and sp you feel you are getting more. It didn't make me feel guilty in doing this as the cannellini beans are not Spanish either, but Italian. Nevertheless, full marks for a truly satisfying dish. Dick from Whittington

  This is yummy - if a bit high in calories. Used tinned black eyed beans instead of cannellini.

  made this for supper last night it was absolutely delicious. I used normal paprika and thought it needed something else so i put smoked paprika in, chicken stock and also thickened the sauce a little with corn flour. Having a tapas evening in september with some friends and this will definately be on the menu

  I cooked variation of this recipe for two tonight and really enjoyed it. I had only chicken breast and tinned beans in the house, so I used these. I quickly fried off the chorizo and onion and added a clove of garlic since I love it. I added a splash of sherry before I put the chicken, herbs, potato and paprika in and topped up with chicken stock rather than just water, after 10 minutes I added the beans. When the potato was cooked through (around another 8 to 10 minutes) I also added a little cornflower to thicken and then stirred in the spinach off the heat. Finally I checked the seasoning and served. For me this was great on it�s own, but my fiancé wanted to have a little French baguette with his.

  Sounds very nice but I think I would remove the chicken skin before cooking.

  Good mid week supper easy and quick - the only thing I would change is that I would cut the chorizo into smaller pieces next time.

  This is a plate of loveliness. I also thickened mine slightly as the family often complain about 'anything thin' but I put a 400g can of pinto beans in and maybe 300g of dried beans cooked would make it thicker. The leftovers heated up nicely for lunch a couple of days later. One of our regular midweek meals now. Good family fodder!

  It would be so much more helpful if the beans were also shown as tinned as many people these days buy them like that these days. Can anyone say how many tins & their size this would need?
