One Pot Chorizo Yam Stew

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound chorizo, in meatballs
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-3 sprigs thyme
  • 2 cups chopped yams
  • 2 cans (15 oz.) white Cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 large bunch adult spinach, rinsed well
  • Salt & Pepper

Helpful Equipment

Dutch Oven

Directions:

  1. Shape ground chorizo into small spoon-sized meatballs. In a large pot or Dutch oven, add olive oil over medium heat. Add chorizo meatballs and cook until browned well on all sides, about 8 minutes turning occasionally.
  2. Remove meatballs (leaving any grease in the pot) and add chopped yams and onions. Cook for 6-8 minutes until veggies are soft and possibly browned in spots. Add minced garlic and stir together and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Add drained and rinsed beans, fresh thyme and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes covered.
  4. Remove about a cup of the beans and yams from the pot and mash them well to form a paste. Stir that back into the stew to thicken it. Add meatballs back into the pot.
  5. Add rinsed spinach to the pot and cook for another minute or two until spinach is wilted. Season stew with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
