Tips and Serving Suggestions

Conventional hob method

Heat  a non-stick frying or sauté pan with a lid, over a medium heat. Add the chorizo, onion and red pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo has released its oil and the onion and pepper have softened. Remove from the pan to a plate and set aside.

Add the pork steaks to the pan and cook for 3 minutes on one side, then turn over, and cook for a further  3 minutes. Return the chorizo and pepper mixture to the pan and stir in the paprika.

Stir in the tomatoes, butter beans and 150ml hot vegetable or chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, then cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 5 minutes, until the steaks are cooked through and the juices run clear.

Season to taste and sprinkle with the parsley. Divide between 4 plates and serve with seasonal green vegetables.
