Portuguese Style with Chourico and Beans

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Add the sliced chourico sausage to the pot and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes, stirring to combine.

Add the cooked white beans, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and bay leaf.

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
