I love to learn about other cultures and enjoy researching, reading about and preparing the recipes that captivate me most. That's how I got to know this traditional Spanish stew made with chorizo, potatoes and carrots. Its preparation is quite simple, but the result is delicious. My Spanish neighbor told me this stew is typically prepared in a pot over low heat, but we live at a faster pace in these modern times, and making it that way can be cumbersome. As such, we've had to reduce the cooking time.

Ingredients

1 lb white beans
Salt, to taste
2 medium potatoes, diced
1 medium carrot, sliced
3-4 red chorizos
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, mashed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 plum tomato, diced
1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1

Soak the beans overnight in a pot. In the morning, change the water and cover them completely.
2

Add the salt and cook approximately one hour and fifteen minutes at medium-high heat.
3

Once tender, add the potatoes, carrots and chorizo.
4

In a saucepan, prepare the sauce with the oil, garlic, onion and tomato.
5

When the onion is tender, add the paprika. Then pour the mixture into the pot with the beans and remaining ingredients.
6

Let boil for 25 to 30 minutes more, or until the potatoes and carrots are cooked. Taste for salt.

You can add diced pancetta or lacón (Galician-style dried ham).
You can also use tomato sauce rather than paprika or seasoning with culantro and annatto seeds.
