Ingredients

  • 1 link PC mild chorizo sausage (250), diced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, minced or thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon (scant) crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 package PC Organic Baby Kale (5 ounces)
  • 1 can Eden or Yves Organic Black beans, rinsed (398 ml)
  • 1 can La Costena Refried Black Beans (546 ml)
  • 1 can consome + water as required (I added one full can which was perfect)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • crumbled feta, lime wedges, chopped fresh cilantro, chipotle-lime crema and tortilla strips (all optional - to serve)

Preparation

Step 1

Add onion, garlic, jalapeno, olive oil and chorizo to a heavy pot and cook over medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes until veggies are tender. Add the pepper flakes, cook for 1 more minute, and add kale. Saute for 3 minutes.

Add beans and consome and stir and bring to a simmer. Add additional water as needed, keeping it thick. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Taste and add salt if needed (it wasn't).

Divide into three portions, freezing two. Serve topped with crumbled feta, chopped cilantro, a few tortilla strips, a drizzle of crema and a squeeze of lime.
