Basque-style black beans and cabbage

Step 1

Drain beans, rinse under cold running water and combine in a saucepan with enough water to cover generously. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer until beans are just tender (40-50 minutes).

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat 100ml oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add cabbage, onion, celery and garlic, sauté until just golden (8-10 minutes), remove from pan and set aside. Add chorizo and bacon to pan with remaining oil, sauté until golden (8-10 minutes), set aside.

Step 3

Drain beans (reserve 60ml liquid), return beans and reserved liquid to pan, add onion mixture, chorizo mixture, parsley and vinegar, season liberally or to taste, stir to combine and serve warm.
