Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist
This stew is packed with bold flavors and hearty ingredients that make it both comforting and satisfying. The spicy chorizo pairs perfectly with the creamy beans and tender rice, creating a balanced dish that warms you up on any day.
Directions
Warm a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook the sausage until it’s nicely browned, which should take about 10 to 12 minutes. Toss in the onion and garlic, and keep stirring every now and then until the onion becomes soft and fragrant, around 4 to 5 minutes. Next, add in all the other ingredients except for the Parmesan. Turn the heat down to low and let everything simmer gently for 12 to 15 minutes so the flavors can meld together. When you’re ready to serve, ladle the stew into bowls and sprinkle a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese on top. If you have any leftovers, just pop them in the fridge for later.
