This dish of pork and chorizo sausage and butterbean mash makes for a filling and tasty dinner. Sausage and mash are a classic dinner option, but using the smoky chorizo sausage gives more variety to your meal. The sausage comes with a hint of red peppers and paprika flavour, giving your dish extra tasty pizzazz. The mash made out of potatoes and creamy butterbeans is high in protein and potassium, so it’s good for your heart. Fry chopped leafy greens to go with your sausage and mash, and mix them together with half-fat crème fraîche and nutmeg for a delicious side. Serve with the traditional mustard.
