Spanish Beans with Chorizo | A CLASSIC Stew filled with Spanish Soul

This recipe for Spanish Beans with Chorizo, known as Alubias con Chorizo, is one of the most classic dishes that hail from Spain. It´s filled flavors, easy to make and done in about 30 minutes. Serve it next to a crunchy baguette and a bottle of Spanish wine for the ultimate experience.

Spanish Beans with Chorizo
For the beans I used canned white beans. But you can use other beans here, such as kidney beans or even pinto beans. If you prefer to use dried beans, just soak them overnight and then simmer the following day for 1 to 2 hours or until tender.

What really flavors this dish is the Sweet Smoked Spanish Paprika (25% OFF Your Order by clicking this link). You can also add in a little hot smoked Spanish paprika or even chili powder if you want some heat.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: For the chorizo I used a plant-based chorizo. But traditionally regular Spanish chorizo is used here. Either way, make sure to use a firm chorizo. This way it holds its shape when cooked and won´t fall apart.

    Would you please share the brand of vegan Spanish chorizo that you use? I’d like to try to find it here in OC. Most vegan chorizo I’ve seen is similar to Trader Joe’s soyrizo, which falls apart. Thank you as always for amazing recipes.

      Check at your local supermarket, such as Ralphs, and go to their plant-based section, they should have firm plant-based chorizo 🙂 Much love
