Slow Cooker Chorizo Potato & Runner Baean One Pot

This Slow Cooker Chorizo, Potato, and Runner Bean One Pot dinner is perfect for making an inexpensive, tasty and filling meal using a garden glut of potatoes and runner beans from the garden or allotment.

All the delicious flavours of chorizo combined with summer vegetables from the garden or allotment: Slow Cooker Chorizo, Potato & Runner Bean Recipe

Even if you don’t have access to homegrown produce, these ingredients are cheap to buy, if you can’t get runner beans then frozen french beans will work just as well., it’s a filling dinner and it’s really simple to make.

Growing runner beans for Slow Cooker Chorizo, Potato and Runner Bean Recipe

We’ve had a glorious summer in Scotland and it’s been the perfect year to start growing vegetables and flowers in six raised beds in my garden.  The bean bed featured mangetout peas, broad beans and runner beans with a side of nasturtiums grown for their leaves, flowers and seeds.

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Chorizo, Potato and Runner Bean Recipe

The peas and broad beans are finished now, but I’m still picking runner beans every day.  If you’ve ever grown them you will know that they really easy to grow and the number of beans per plant is epic!   It was this abundance that made me think about how I could make a tasty dinner with these simple ingredients.

Cooking the Chorizo, Potato & Runner Bean Recipe in the slow cooker makes it such an easy meal

We’ve eaten the beans as a vegetable accompaniment, I’ve blanched and frozen them but I wanted to find another way to cook with these great garden favourites.  So I turned to my trusty slow cooker to create a comforting Slow Cooker Chorizo, Potato and Runner Bean one-pot meal.

One of the things I love about cooking in the slow cooker is just how easy it is to make a really hearty meal. In this garden vegetable recipe, 

The sweet flavours of the tomatoes, pepper and sweet paprika are absorbed into the potatoes.  The runner beans go in just before the end of cooking so they still retain some texture and colour.
