chorizo and butter bean casserole

The keen-eyed amongst you *may* have spotted a theme to the last few night's dinners, mainly in the tomato/cured meat department.

This week I went a bit mental and bought 1.5Kg of cherry tomatoes (1.5kg) and and three chorizo(s), all of which were on offer. After a weekend of tomato, red onion and creme fraiche tart, and chorizo and tomato salad, tonight Ana uses up the last lot of the bulk ingredients to make her patented chorizo and butter bean casserole:

However, I'm not sure I'll be bulk buying again in a hurry. Not so much because it didn't really make our shopping any cheaper, although the prosecco and the extras for dinner on Sunday might have possibly offset any saving, but more because I don't think I want to eat essentially the same two ingredients three nights running.
