Chorizo and White Bean Stew ~ A simple stew of fresh Mexican chorizo, white beans, greens, and onions prove again how simple ingredients create the greatest flavor.Chorizo and White Bean Stew ~ A simple stew of fresh Mexican chorizo, white beans, greens, and onions prove again how simple ingredients create the greatest flavor ~ The Complete Savorist Hi everyone! My name is Michelle De La Cerda and I write over at The Complete Savorist. I’m grateful to Emily for the opportunity to share a recipe over here while she welcomes a new member to her family.

Recently I made Chicken Alambre, a quick fajitas style taco dish with fresh Mexican chorizo and bacon. Of course I purchased a lot more fresh chorizo than I needed for that dish and just tossed it in the freezer to have for another use. Each and every time I opened my freezer, I saw it. It was literally calling out to me to use it up. Finally, I heeded its call.

Despite the calendar saying it’s Spring, snow is currently falling where I live. The weather means it’s not quite time to forgo the soups and stews (or sweaters) yet because I am still shivering and wearing layers.

This fresh Mexican chorizo is not like the Mexican chorizo you buy packaged in the plastic tube. This a far less greasy, and has a lot more spices (not spicy). When making this dish, do not use the chorizo in the plastic tube, you must use fresh Mexican chorizo in the casings. If you can’t find Mexican chorizo, feel free to substitute Spanish or Basque chorizo or your favorite Italian sausage, just remove the casings.

If you’ve got an army to feed, this recipe is easily doubled. For me, this recipe was a true winner because my 5-year old ate it right up, beans, greens, and the sausage without complaint. She did ask for an radish-ectomy and extra queso fresco, and those were demands I could easily accommodate.
