After having made recent Mexican chorizo, I regarded for recipes to make use of it. One in all my favourite blogs with Mexican recipes is Irene’s My Slice of Mexico and that’s the place I discovered this recipe for inexperienced beans with chorizo. It’s a kind of guisado (stew) and might be served with rice and/or refried beans, or as filling for tacos.
It’s completely scrumptious and I’ve used up many of the chorizo I made to organize this dish a number of occasions. After all it’s not wanted to stuff the chorizo into sausage casings, and it could really look form of off-putting when you take the meat out of the casing (when you don’t know what I imply, take a look at the picture under of the chorizo meat added to the casserole).
Components
Serves 2 as a primary course if served with tacos or rice
- 300 grams (.66 lb) Mexican chorizo, taken out of its casing
- 500 grams (1.1 lb) inexperienced beans, trimmed and lower into 5 cm (2 inch) lengths
- 500 grams (1.1 lb) ripe plum tomatoes

Directions
Fill a pot with sufficient water to submerge the tomatoes, and produce the water to a boil. Rating the underside of the tomatoes with a pointy knife in a cross-pattern, then add the tomatoes to the gently boiling water, and depart them submerged till the pores and skin breaks. Then elevate them out of the boiling water with a strainer, and plunge the tomatoes into chilly water to chill.
Add some salt to the identical water, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda (if utilizing). Then add the inexperienced beans, and boil them till they’re tender to your liking (8 to 10 minutes). The baking soda will give them a brilliant inexperienced coloration and can make the beans get tender extra shortly. When the beans are tender, drain, and plunge in chilly water to cease the cooking.
Warmth 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a casserole. Add the chopped onion and season with salt.
Stir the onion over medium warmth till comfortable and barely coloured. The onion mustn’t turn out to be brown or crispy.
Within the meantime, take the chorizo meat out of its casing.
Take away the pores and skin and seeds from the tomatoes, and chop the tomato flesh.
Add the chorizo meat to the onions. (That is the picture I discussed within the introduction.)
Fry the chorizo meat over medium-high warmth, breaking it up with picket spatulas.
Then add the tomatoes.
Stir over medium warmth till the tomatoes have fallen aside and the sauce is not watery.
Add the inexperienced beans and a tablespoon of chopped recent cilantro leaves.
Stir over medium warmth till the beans have heated by. Style and modify the seasoning with salt.
