Chorizo and Red Onion Cassoulet

Made with red onion, green and yellow peppers, carrot, potato, sugar snap peas, haricot beans, spring onion, chestnut mushrooms, celery, tomato puree, plus ham and vegetable stock.

The onions were stir-fried first, and the rest of the vegetables were added as prepared (chop everything!). I used some oil left over from a jar of grilled peppers, but sunflower oil would be fine. The last thing to be added was the chorizo sausage. Turn down the heat and stir everything together. Cook for fifteen minutes.

Add boiling water to the mix, and stir together. Add the haricot beans (soft), the tomato puree, and the ham and vegetable stocks. Simmer under glass for at least half an hour.

Serve with black pepper, or just as it is.
