The method

Step by step

1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
About 2 min
2
Add the butifarra sausages to the hot pan and sear them on all sides until nicely browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
About 15 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the sausages are cooked thoroughly, as butifarra is a fresh sausage.
3
Remove the cooked sausages from the pan and set them aside on a plate, keeping them warm.
About 1 min
4
Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped garlic to the same skillet, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Do not burn the garlic; it should be lightly golden.
5
Add the drained and rinsed cannellini beans to the skillet with the garlic. Stir well to combine and heat through for 5-7 minutes, allowing them to absorb the flavors from the pan.
About 7 min
Cook’s note: Stir gently to avoid mashing the beans.
6
Season the beans with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
About 1 min
7
Slice the butifarra sausages into thick rounds or serve them whole alongside the warm beans.
About 2 min
8
Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: A sprinkle of good quality paprika can also be added for extra flavor and color.
