Ingredients
Preparation
Soak the large white beans (200 g) in plenty of water overnight, then drain and rinse.
Finely dice the onion (1) and the garlic clove (2) and sauté in a pot with the olive oil (1 tbsp) until translucent.
Cut the streaky bacon (100 g) into coarse pieces and sauté briefly, while I purr curiously.
Now add the soaked beans (200 g) to the pot along with the chorizo (100 g) and the morcilla (80 g).
Pour in the water (500 ml) so that the ingredients are well covered, and bring to a brief boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer the stew gently until the beans are soft and creamy, adding a pinch of salt (1 pinch).
Finally, remove the sausages, slice them, and return them to the stew just before serving.
