As the recipe quotes for two and 183 per person, you can eat however much you wish. I will add some veg to it but will eat half and freeze the other for another day. But I guess a man could eat the whole thing if they wanted with the extra cals they have on a fast day

I usually eat the whole batch, the whole thing is under 500 cals and is ready in 20 minutes. It's a really warm and comforting winter meal. It's my go to fast day dinner lately, I can't be bothered with faffing about cooking so this is perfect and very satisfying, I'm always stuffed afterwards. Red pepper might be a nice addition also.

Cheated and bought a bag of Tesco three bean casserole mix and some chorizo. I won't eat much this evening, as I still feel full after lunch out, but it smells amazing and I bet will be even more tasty when reheated.

Just made this for my two fasts this week

Putting the recipe in MFP (and checking the net), calories for Chorizo vary alot ! I would recommend adding some extra to what the recipe shows (88k per 25gr), as I struggled to find any near this. FYI, it came out at 230 cals per portion, using canelloni beans (based on two portions).

Also did a batch of Jamie Oliver Butternut Squash soup yesterday so thats my lunches sorted for the next few fasts

Xmas tree is up as well

Edit, Monday 2nd.

Just eaten my first half of the meal for my fast (stew). Its very bland, so going to have to spice it up a bit on Wed. Not sure I will be cooking this again

Had this tonight and enjoyed it. Agree with Minigill calories for Chorizo vary a lot. Basing it on the chorizo I bought from Sainsbury's this came in at 258 calories per half portion. Very tasty though

Thanks for this recipe @daydreamer21 I only just noticed it. I shall try it soon.
