Sauteed Spanish Green and Yellow Beans

1. 1

   Chorizo -- In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium to medium high heat.

2. 2

   Add in the chorizo and cook 3-4 minutes, then add in the onions and cook another 2-3 minutes, just until the chorizo begins to brown up and the onions begin to soften.

3. 3

   The chorizo will render some fat which you want to cook the beans in, but if you have to much oil, just pour some out.

4. 4

   Beans -- Add the beans, mix well and saute 2-3 minutes until they absorb the flavors of the onions and chorizo.

5. 5

   Reduce the heat to medium low and add in the chicken broth or stock so the beans can simmer to finish cooking.

6. 6

   Cover and simmer 7-10 minutes until the beans are tender.

7. 7

   Olives -- Remove the lid, turn the heat back up to medium high heat to reduce any remaining broth and add in the olives.

8. 8

   Check for seasoning.

9. 9

   Remember the olives are salty and the chorizo has a bit of spice, so go easy.

10. 10

    Serve -- ENJOY!

    I often make these in my cast iron pan right on the grill along side some chicken and foil pouch potatoes.
