Spanish Chicken, Chorizo and Bean Casserole


There was a definite chill in the air this weekend. Autumn is well and truly here in Cornwall and I for one am glad  - its my favourite season. I love the bonfires, the quiet beaches, cosy evenings in front of the fire, long walks picking blackberry's, crumbles with lashings of custard and warming comfort food such as this dish.
