10 -
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil for cooking

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
12 -
1/2 teaspoon table salt
13 -
1/4 cup water

1 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together sherry vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Add quartered cherry tomatoes and sliced red onion, tossing to coat. Set aside to marinate while preparing the chorizo.
02 -
Heat remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chorizo pieces and cook, stirring frequently, until well-browned and crispy on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the rendered oil in the skillet.
03 -
Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic to the chorizo oil. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add rinsed cannellini beans, smoked paprika, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and cook until beans are heated through, 2 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
04 -
Remove from heat and add water to skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Return crisped chorizo to the pan and add the marinated tomato mixture along with any accumulated juices. Stir in chopped parsley and remaining olive oil, combining gently. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Spanish-style dry-cured chorizo is essential for proper flavor and texture; avoid substituting with Mexican chorizo which has different moisture content.
02 -
Quick-marinating the tomatoes and onion while the chorizo cooks helps draw out natural sweetness and mellows the onion's sharpness.
03 -
Using the rendered chorizo oil to cook the beans infuses the entire dish with rich, meaty flavor throughout.
04 -
A full cup of parsley transforms from garnish to key ingredient, providing essential freshness and color balance.
