Chorizo Stew with Kidney Beans

The Kidney Beans were soaked overnight. The rest of the vegetable items were stir-fried for fifteen minutes at a medium heat in sunflower oil (onion, carrot, potato, red pepper, and mushroom, along with the diced chorizo sausage (about 150 g).

Add boiling water (about a cupful), the vegetable stock, the tomato puree (three squirts), the beans, and the herbs (oregano, herbes de provence). Cook for one hour until the sauce has the desired consistency, and serve with some lightly turmericed long grain rice.
