    Gorgeous summer or winter stew. I ended up putting in afew different types of beans in (whatever I had left in the cupboard) and used up the celery I had. I didn't put the chorizo in until the very end to ensure the full flavour, overall it was a huge success and is now on the regular meals list that we do.

    This was yummy although I did make a few changes based on comments from people on here. I used 1 tsp of mild chilli powder, 1tsp of hot chilli powder and 1tsp of smoked paprika, this made it perfect for our taste. I also used a whole red pepper and only 200ml of chicken stock. It was still very liquid so I thickened it with cornflour. I didn't have any borlotti beans so used butter beans. Despite all of this, it was delicious and will definitely be made again.

    This was great and easy to do, I followed advice and used some chilli powder and smoked paprika as well. Forgot the corrainder but used parlsey instead and was still good. I also used a can of mixed beans in a spicy sauce to give it some variety. I swapped turkey instead of chicken as it was much cheaper and by the time you add all the other flavours it is hard to tell it is not chicken! I served with rice. Will do this recipe again.

    I started mine on the hob then left in the slow cooker for a little while, probably won't do that next time as it made it more like a broth. Still lovely and tasty though I served with warm ciabatta.

    This recipe is lovely, I use chopped up chicken breast instead and thicken it with abit of cornflour as we like to have it with rice.
