Chorizo, bean and chilli stew

This simple dish is cooked in the large slow cooker: 4–5 litres (4–5 US liquid quarts), but in fact it only takes about 3 hours. Chorizo is considered to be a specialty sausage – but in fact it is available in most supermarkets. If your local supermarket does not stock Chorizo, it will certainly be found in your local delicatessen.
