Chorizo and White Bean Ragu
A non-traditional ragu made with chorizo sausage and white beans that comes together fast. It's hearty and spicy without being too heavy.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp jalapeno finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 lb mexican chorizo casing removed
- 1 1/2 cups canned or fresh tomatoes pureed
- 1 1/2 cups butter beans, navy beans or cannelini beans
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and swirl it to coat the pan.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until it turns translucent. Toss in the garlic, jalapeño, and fresh chorizo (or any other kind of fresh sausage), then sauté for about a minute.
- Add the tomatoes and beans, then simmer until the sauce is thick and the sausage is cooked, about 5 minutes on medium heat. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Because this sauce contains meat, it won’t keep especially long in the fridge, but you can freeze it for later use if you don’t plan to eat it all within a few days.
