Method

  1. Soak the beans for at least 4 hrs or overnight in a large bowl with plenty of water to cover. Next day, rinse and drain, then put in a large heavy based pan with the onion, paprika, herb bundle and chicken. Pour over enough water or stock to cover, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 45 mins.
  2. Remove the chicken to a plate, then add the potatoes and chorizo to the pan. Continue cooking for 30 mins until the beans and potatoes are tender.
  3. Discard the skin and bones from the chicken and tear into large chunks. Return the chicken to the pan with the spinach and simmer for 5 mins.

    This is a really tasty dish I had no hesitation in saving to my Favourites. My husband lived and worked in Madrid for a while and is always very sceptical of any recipes which include the word "Spanish" in the title. This dish gets his seal of approval (ie wolfing down the first helping and coming back for more). Despite the carb hit it's great served with artisan-style bread.

    I made this as a last minute supper for friends. They loved it and my 7 yr old daughter said "mummy, please can you make this every dinner time?" I have passed the recipe on and it's had rave reviews, I wish I could claim it as my own!

    This was actually better than I thought it would be when I tasted it in the pan. It was quite nice but not amazing. If I made it again I'd probably just use one large chicken breast rather than the thighs. The chicken fell apart and went stringy when I put it back in for the last few minutes. I used tinned cannellini beans and unpeeled new potatoes, which cooked in 20 minutes. We ate the same quantity as the recipe (except potatoes) between two of us. Must've been ok then!

    Great recipe to use as a starting point. I used boneless and skinless chicken thighs which are less fatty. Thickened the sauce with a little flour. Added frozen peas and some runner beans for colour. Left out the potatoes and instead served it with mash. Don't salt it. Chicken stock and the chorizo are salty enough. Worth a go

    Ive made this a couple of times now and it has gone down a treat with my guests. It's easy to make and tastes delicious. The spinach just finishes it off nicely. Make sure you serve a light starter with it as its quite heavy .

    Love this! Make it exactly as the recipe apart from using spicy smoked paprika. Delicious, simple and even better the next day (if you have any left overs!).

    Excelent recipe, must take care with paprika, just chorizo have paprika, could be strong taste de stew a paprika...In all spain it´s diferents cook the paprika, here in the south normally put directly in the stock, but the correct use the paprika is dissolve in pan with hot grease(olive oil, vegetarian oil, butter) just 4 seconds, if not burn the paprika, and put in the stew, will be more taste.
