Spanish Sharing Bowl (of Greatness!)

It's mid August and the end of English 'summer' is nigh - this can only mean one thing - the return of the football season!

So after a long day at work the last thing you want to do before a Champo League encounter is slave over the hob all night. What you need is a quick fix to sort you out with plenty of time to sink a couple of nelsons.

Serves 2 hungry people or 3 as a snack:

1 medium red onion (cut into fine strips)
1 clove of garlic (finely chopped)
1/2 red chilli
200g of chorizo roughly chopped (cooking or standard will do)
a squeeze of lemon
2 roasted peppers (coarsely chopped)
1 jar of alubia beans
1 tsp of paprika
handful of chopped flatleaf parsley

Heat up a pan with a splash of olive oil and chuck in your chorizo. Cook this off for a couple of mins to extract some colour, then add the onion, garlic and dry chilli.

Keep the pan on a medium heat stirring regularly for 5-8 mins then add a squeeze of lemon and the peppers.

Keep on the heat for a couple of minutes before adding the beans (if you can't find alubias beans cannellini ones will do).

Season well and cook this off for a final 2 mins before stirring in the parsley. That's it.


The whole thing shouldn't take more than 15 mins. All that's left to do is spoon the lot into a large bowl and serve with grilled/toasted bread rubbed with olive oil.

Oh, and don't forget the cervezas!
