Method

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Cook the sausage, turning occasionally, until it is browned and fully cooked, which should take about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the sausage to a plate.

  2. Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme sprig. Stir occasionally and cook until the onion is softened, which should take about 5-8 minutes.

  3. Add the beans and broth to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, crushing a few beans with the back of a spoon to help thicken the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Add the spinach to the skillet, adding it in handfuls. Cook just until the spinach is wilted, which should take about 2 minutes.

  5. Slice the chorizo and fold it into the stew. If desired, add water to thin out the stew.

  6. Divide the stew among bowls. Drizzle with some oil and sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
