Ingredients
  • 1 pound uncooked chorizo, casings removed, or bulk spicy pork sausage
  • 2 cups sliced fresh carrots
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
  • 1 carton (32 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (16 ounces) butter beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (5-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium v8 juice
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
Directions
  1. Crumble chorizo into a Dutch oven. Add the carrots, onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat until chorizo is fully cooked. Drain; remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, saute the chicken, salt and pepper in oil until no longer pink. Add sweet potatoes, corn and red pepper; cook 5 minutes longer.
  3. Stir in the chorizo mixture, broth, beans, tomatoes, V8 juice and pepper sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in spinach; cook until wilted.

Portuguese Cataplana

"Cataplana" is the word for both the dish and the spherical pot it's cooked and served in. This pork and seafood stew is found in the Algarve, in Portugal. You don't need a cataplana to make this; a Dutch oven or large pot with a tight-fitting lid does the trick (though it may not be quite the same).
