Ingredients for Spanish butifarra sausage and beans recipe.

Starting off get all the veggies chopped and minced up. So mince the garlic, or use a garlic press if you have one. Did I tell you I love my garlic press? Well…I do. Stranded on a desert island it would be on my list of three things to bring along. The onion and mushrooms you don’t need to chop up too much. Just like so below.

Chopping a red onion for the butifarra sausage and beans recipe.

When you have everything chopped up it’s time to cook the sausage. Cook the sausage with a little olive oil on medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Before cooking them poke small holes in the sausage to allow the grease to escape from the sausage casing.

You want to cook the sausage until it has a tiny little bit of pink in the center. When you remove it from the heat it will continue to cook a little more. By the time it’s being plated the center should not be pink. This method allows you to et it a safe cooking temperature, but also not over cook the meat.

When I’m cooking the sausage toward the end I slice it up right int he pan to check on the middle of the sausage. Plus this allows a little more fo the fat to render so you can drain it off. Make sure to tell you cardiologist about that tip.

When the sausage is almost cooked place it aside, clean the pan and now begin to cook the veggies with some olive oil on medium heat. After the onion cooks for two minutes, add-in the garlic. Wait 2 minutes then add in the garbanzo beans, mushrooms salt and pepper. Cook another 3 to 5 minutes.
