Method
- 1
Fry the smoked streaky bacon in a large pan for 4 minutes, then add the chorizo and cook for 6-7 minutes, until browned.
- 2
Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until softened, then stir in the sweet paprika.
- 3
Add the hominy, cannellini beans, butternut squash and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 40-45 minutes, until the squash is completely soft and the stew has thickened.
- 4
Mash a few spoonfuls of squash against the side of the pan to thicken further, if you like.
- 5
Check the chorizo and bacon are cooked through with no pink remaining, then serve in deep bowls.
