Step 1

Boil a kettle

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and chop them into large, bite-sized pieces

Step 3

Add the chopped potatoes to a pot with plenty of boiled water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat

Step 4

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooking, deseed the red pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into thin strips

Step 6

Peel and finely slice the red onion[s]

Step 7

Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic

Step 8

Reboil half a kettle

Step 9

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat

Step 10

Once hot, add the pepper strips and cook for 5 min or until they've softened slightly

Step 11

Once softened, reduce the heat to low, add the chopped garlic and sliced onion with a large pinch of sugar and cook for 15 min or until softened

Step 12

Meanwhile, dissolve the chicken stock mix in 250ml [500ml] boiled water and stir in the harissa paste – this is your spicy harissa stock

Step 13

Heat a separate, large, wide based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium heat

Step 14

Once hot, add the chorizo and cook for 8-10 min or until starting to crisp

Step 15

Once crisp, add the spicy harissa stock to the pepper and onion pan

Step 16

Increase the heat to high and cook for 2-5 min or until a glossy sauce forms – this is your spicy harissa stew

Step 17

Finely chop the parsley, including the stalks

Step 18

Once the potatoes are tender, add the butter beans (no need to drain!) to the same pot

Step 19

Return the pan to a high heat and cook for 3 min or until the beans are warmed through, then drain everything

Step 20

Add a knob of butter, a splash of milk and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then mash until smooth – this is your butter bean mash

Step 21

Stir the chorizo and chopped parsley through the harissa stew – this is your spicy harissa chorizo stew
