That's the way I do it. Read all the recipes and then make up my own mind. Sometimes it works... For instance, the black beans are going to get cooked up with some, probably whole, carrots and onions to make them extra tasty. Mind you with all the other stuff maybe that's not necessary. However, the idea came from a black bean "salad" recipe my friend Sue gave me, authentic greek, I believe, she being married to one. I'll send it to you:) Absolutely. That’s the way I do it.

In the end I dried fried (which is to say no additional oil) the chorizo and then added a good glug of cider (I think it was <a href="http://www.westons-cider.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_Organic_Cider__12x500ml_.html" rel="nofollow">Weston's Organic</a>.... probably not authentic at all!) and let it reduce down. It probably ought to have been sweeter. Other recipes marinaded the salami in cider first and then cooked it down slowly. Other, other recipes used chorizo sausages and fried them before slicing them up. as I said it was a combination of recipes seen on the internet.
