Preparation

  1. Roughly chop the red onion and red bell peppers.

  3. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. Heat the sunflower oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Brown the chipolata sausages for about 6-8 minutes, turning to ensure even browning.
  3. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the red peppers and chorizo, ensuring the chorizo makes contact with the pan, and cook for another 3 minutes.
  5. Add the minced garlic, paprika, and thyme, stirring for 1 minute.
  6. Pour in the red wine and let it reduce for 2-3 minutes, scraping the pan to incorporate any browned bits.
  7. Crumble in the chicken stock cubes, add the chopped tomatoes, and bring to a gentle boil.
  8. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Add the drained haricot and cannellini beans, stir, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

Plating & Serving
