Stew

This a great dish to save for a lazy, winter day when you have the time to make this hearty stew. Braising it long and low in the oven always results in a melt in your mouth bowl of beefy comfort. I love it with kidney beans but it would good with cranberry beans for a nice change as well. It’s great for Sunday supper but the recipe makes enough that you can freeze half for another day!

Creamy white beans, garlicky shrimp, spicy Spanish chorizo and plenty of vegetables are married together in a flavourful tomato sauce. This is a simple and comforting meal that just needs some crusty bread on the side for sopping up all of that delicious sauce left in the bottom of the bowls. Of course, you could serve it with steamed rice or buttered noodles as well. The creaminess of the white beans is a lovely contrast to the tender vegetables and shrimp, as well as the chewiness of the sausage. If you don’t have chorizo feel free to substitute any smoked sausage, or even bacon. Hearty and nourishing, this stew ticks all of the comfort food boxes!
