Runner bean stew with chorizo

A summery celebration of these lean green beans

13 JULY 2009

Ingredients (Serves 2-4 as a side)

• 150g cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 1 large clove of garlic
• 1 cooking chorizo (about 4 inches long)
• 250g runner beans
• 1/2pt water or stock

Method

Finely chop the onion and sauté in a splash of olive oil with the diced chorizo until soft but not coloured. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, a matter of a couple of minutes or so. Add the halved tomatoes and cook until they break down and release their juice.

Add the stock or water.

Finely slice the runner beans on the diagonal so you get nice long pieces. Add these to the pan, season and simmer until the beans are cooked.
