A failure. Chorizo and butter bean stew with garlic and thyme
While the black pudding was used in a successful dish, the chorizo found its way into a failure.
The recipe came from Rick Stein’s Food Heroes, currently resident Chez Rosam courtesy of Worthing Library.
The flavours just didn’t work. It may well have been because our chorizo from the market and Waitrose butter beans weren’t up to the standards of those from Rick’s food heroes, but there’s a nagging reminder in the back of my brain that, when I need a fish recipe, I usually skip over my Rick Steins in favour of Leith’s Fish Bible.
Maybe I don’t get on with Rick Stein.
The bread – Parmesan and Sun-dried Tomato – fresh from our bread machine was great, though. I’d add some more sun-dried next time.
