Ingredients

3 cup green beans (string beans), cooked from frozen
2 oz fresh food spanish chorizo
1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
1 clove garlic
½ small red onion
⅓ cup chicken broth, bouillon or consomme, homemade

Instructions

Melt the butter in a large skillet over a medium heat. Roughly dice the chorizo. Add the chorizo to the skillet and cook until lightly golden and releasing its oils. Remove the chorizo from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set to one side.
Thinly slice the onion and garlic. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet used to cook the chorizo. Sweat gently over a low heat until tender and fragrant.
Add the chicken stock and green beans to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Simmer the beans for 8-10 minutes until tender and hot through, stirring occasionally. The liquid should all be evaporated, and the beans should be starting to brown in places.
Return the chorizo to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Heat through for a minute or two more, then serve the beans hot with your preferred Keto mains.
