Savory Butternut Squash and Chorizo Comfort Stew:

September 12, 2025 Written by Charlotte

Today, I’m excited to share a unique recipe that is perfect for cozy, autumn evenings spent with loved ones. This dish is a twist on a classic comfort food favorite, with unexpected ingredients that come together to create a truly unforgettable dining experience.

To begin, gather the following ingredients: 300g of butternut squash, peeled and diced; 200g of chorizo sausage, sliced; 1 red onion, chopped; 2 cloves of garlic, minced; 1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed; 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika; 200ml of chicken broth; salt and pepper to taste; olive oil for cooking.

In terms of kitchen tools, you will need the following:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • large skillet
  • wooden spoon

Start by heating a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook until crispy, then remove from the pan and set aside. In the same skillet, add the diced butternut squash and red onion. Cook until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Next, add the minced garlic and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir to combine with the vegetables. Add the drained white beans and crispy chorizo back into the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until the flavors have melded together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once everything is heated through and well-cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the butternut squash and chorizo stew in bowls, with crusty bread on the side for dipping. The combination of the sweet butternut squash, spicy chorizo, and creamy white beans is sure to delight your taste buds.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1000g, with 4 servings. Each serving is around 250g, and has an estimated calorie count of 350 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to mash some of the butternut squash into the stew to create a thicker, heartier texture. This will help to further enhance the flavors and make the dish even more satisfying.

I encourage you to give this unique butternut squash and chorizo stew a try. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients or spice levels to make it your own. Enjoy the process of cooking and savoring this delicious meal with those you love.
