    Surprisingly, this healthy recipe is one of my daughter's favourites. If there are only 2 of you, the quantities are easily halved too.

    Agree with most of the above, double the quantity of chorizo, add cheddar and mix Parmesan with the bread crumbs also an old Jamie Oliver tip while finishing in the pan if you crush about a quarter of the butter beans with a spoon against the side of the pan this thickens the sauce nicely, would do again quite filling and tasty

    loved this!! And so easy to make, just use less stock and definately more chorizo. I used about 125 g for two. Forgot to use cheese on top, but it still tasted great.

    Lovely as is as an accompaniment to a pork chop but if going to be the main course then definately need 2 or 3 times the quantity of chorizo. Also used chicken stock & added parmesan to the breadcrumbs.
