'In a world where we’re increasingly feeling guilty about eating meat, beans are the exciting choice,’ says Bold Bean Co founder and author of Full of Beans: Delicious Beany Recipes to Obsess Over, Amelia Christie-Miller. ‘High in protein, fibre and a host of minerals and vitamins, they’re one of the most diverse food groups.’

There’s something about the way the chorizo releases its oil when cooked down that just makes sense. This recipe packs in loads of veggies, gently spiced with paprika and a little cayenne kick to complement the chorizo.
