Slice your chorizo and add to a pan with your oil on medium heat. Fry them until they are golden and crisp and have started to ooze out their vibrant ember oil.
Roughly chop your peppers and thinly slice your garlic and add to the pan. Cook for 2-4 minutes so they start to soften. Add your peeled plum tomatoes and butter beans and pop a lid on. Leave to simmer, covered for 10 minutes.
Take the lid off and cook for a final 5 minutes to thicken up the stew. Finish with the zest of one lemon and a handful of freshly chopped basil, and season to taste.
Serve with a dollop of pesto and crusty bread.
