Ingredients

  • 1 spicy chorizo sausage,semi-cured

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped

  • 2 x 400g tins of organic red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

  • Sea salt

  • *Fresh cheese, mozzarella or fetta, crumbled to serve

  • Coriander sprigs, to serve

  • *If in Melbourne, fresh cheese can be sourced at Spanish food store Casa Iberica. It is a mild cheese. You could substitute mozzarella - or feta, which gives an interesting, if not authentic, flavour.

Method

  1. Squeeze small chunks of chorizo out of the casing and set aside.

    Heat oil in a frypan and gently fry the chorizo for five minutes. Add onion and garlic and fry for a few minutes to soften.

    Add the beans and mash roughly with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

    Taste and season with salt, if required.

    Spoon into a large serving bowl and top with crumbled cheese and coriander. Serve immediately.
