  hmm - looks nice... But what makes it smoky? I think I'll add some smoky paprika...

  We had this last night and it was delicious. I added two red onions and about six tomatoes and the whole pepper. I even think next time I make it I'll add more beans. It went down a treat and we're looking forward to having it again!

  This was really tasty but also very salty, presumably from the stock and the chirozo. Next time, I'll try to reduce the salt content. I served it with rice.

  I loved this recipe but would recommend much less chilli powder. I'll definitely make it again.

  The chilli definately gives it a kick - the kids weren't too happy about that, I think I will use smoked paprika next time too. Also the sauce was quite runny and although I served it with rice and it soaked some up, I think I might reduce the stock amount slightly too.

  great flavours but too much chili for most people I would think! Also the red pepper is missing from the instructions so I almost forgot to put it in. It is quite runny - I served it with ciabatta rather than pitta so better for mopping up the juices.

  I used just a teaspoon of chilli, rather than the tablespoon suggested in the recipe - this was more than hot enough for my children. My daughter is veggie, I found it easy to adapt this recipe so that we could all eat a very similar meal and with little extra effort on my part. We served it with couscous and greens. yum.

  Used 1 tsp chilli and 1 tsp smoked paprika, two tins of beans and found it perfectly spiced for me. Thanks for the comments everyone. It was delicious!

  Superb! Very tasty!! Another 'hit' with all thE family. Using 1.5 x ingredients again gave me plenty for 4. Served with ciabatta to dip in the juice.

  Very nice. Def typo in chilli amounts, should read 1 tea spoon. Reckon you can reduce stock by half too as toms add quite a lot of liquid. Great comfort food.

  Loved it! Will use a whole red pepper next time though. My beans didn't fall to pieces so fished some up and mashed before returning to the pot to make the stock thicken. One question - how much is "half a package" of chorizo? They only come in sausage shape here in Spain...and in loads of different sizes!

  I'm with everyone else on the chilli - I made a double quantity, used half the chilli and it was still a bit too hot. Next time I'll use chilli flakes, not powder, as I find they give a more subtle, diffused heat. When doubling the quantity, use varied beans or chick peas rather than two cans of borlotti. I also asked the question "what's half a pack of chorizo?"! Also, I can't see how this can be ready in 30 mins. Next time I'm going to try this as a more slow-cooked dish using whole chicken legs rather than chunks. Quibbles aside, a very tasty, warming and comforting dish.

  This was good, but I would agree that it takes longer than the stated time, there is a lot of chopping to do for starters! I used smoked paprika instead of chilli powder and added a dash of tabasco. I also stirred through some spinach at the last moment as it was hanging around in the bottom of the fridge.

  Made this last night - it's absolutely gorgeous! I left out the chili powder and just used a teaspoon of chili flakes and a teaspoon of smoked paprika which was fab.

  The chorizo makes it smokey and there is no need smoked paprika. The chorizo is smoked. It's very delicious. I've just finished.

  Lovely dish. I thought the chilli was right - gives it a nice kick but it depends what you're used to. 'Half a pack of chorizo' is 35 grams. The recipe is taken from the magazine section that lists a week's worth of ingredients for 6 suppers. In that, it quotes '70g pack of sliced chorizo'.

  My family loved this dish! I realised while I was making it that I did not have chilli powder, so I used fresh Thai red chillies, which worked very well. I also used canned tomatoes instead and left out the stock, since I thought it would create enough of a sauce and I didn't think it needed the extra salt. I replaced the borlotti with chic peas because I couldn't find them and it worked very well. I served it with ciabatta and everyone had seconds. This is a great winter meal and perfect for a family

  I make something a little similar to this dish, and i use a tin of tomatoes and a jar of passata, then when the dish has thickened i make a lasagne with it. I tried this dish though and it was absolutely delicious.!
