Spanish Sauteed Green and Yellow Beans With Olives
- 1 link spanish chorizo, diced (Use spanish chorizo is the hard cured sausage, vs Mexican chorizo which is the soft, then cut length)
- 1 medium onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
- 12 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 12 lb yellow beans, trimmed and cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 lb green beans, trimmed and cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup kalamata olive, pitted and halved (black olives would be a substitute)
- 12-34 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- salt
- pepper
- 1 lemon, cut in wedges (2 wedges to squeeze over the dish, the rest as a garnish)
- Chorizo, Onions and Garlic -- In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium high heat.
- Add the chorizo, onion and garlic and saute 2-3 minutes.
- Beans -- Add in the beans and mix well to coat with the drippings from the chorizo.
- Then add the chicken broth (I start with 1/2 cup), cover and cook on medium heat for approximately 10 minutes until the beans are tender, but still have a little bite to them.
- After 4-5 minutes, check to see if you need to add a bit more chicken broth.
- I like to keep a little broth in the pan so the beans steam.
- Finish -- Remove the lid, add the olives, and season if necessary.
- The broth and olives are both salty and the chorizo is spicy, so go easy on the seasoning.
- Cook another couple of minutes to let the liquid evaporate and finish with the butter and juice from 2 lemon wedges.
- Serve -- Garnish with additional lemon wedges and enjoy!
- Great along side some spicy grilled chicken and potato wedges.
- ENJOY!
