Chorizo & Broad Bean Fricassee
This easy dinner combines the light smoke of a chorizo, with the nutty creaminess of tahini sauce and the sharpness of lemon to create a wonderfully balanced dish high in nutritional value with the addition of both broad beans and lentils.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium. Place chorizo sausages under grill and cook until coloured on all sides, 12-15 minutes. Turn regularly during cooking.
Step 2
Whilst the sausages are grilling, warm 2 tbsp olive oil in a large sauté pan over a medium heat and sweat the spring onion, garlic and thyme for 3-5 minutes, stirring regularly, until softened and infused. Add the broad beans and sauté for 1-2 minutes followed by 100ml chicken stock and 4 tbsp lemon juice. Season with ½ tsp of salt and plenty of black pepper, and cook over a low heat, covered, for 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Whilst the vegetables are braising, whisk the tahini with 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice to a thick paste and then gradually pour in 60ml cold water until the paste becomes a light and aerated sauce. Season with salt to taste and set aside until needed.
Step 4
Now add the green lentils and remaining chicken stock to the broad bean pan, bring to the boil then lower to a medium-low heat and simmer for 7-10 minutes until lentils are heated through and sauce has thickened somewhat. Add 2 tbsp lemon juice and half the coriander and chives to the pan and stir through gently.
Step 5
Serve immediately, whilst still hot, with the remaining coriander and chives thrown over the top and the sausages and tahini sauce served alongside.
