Method:

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan with a lid, and fry the onion over medium heat until soft but not colored.

2. Add the garlic, chilies, and oregano or thyme, and fry for another minute or two. Then stir in the chorizo and let it sizzle for a bit.

3. Add the cabbage and stock, and bring to the boil. Stir in the beans and season to taste with salt and pepper, bearing in mind that chorizo is quite highly seasoned.

4. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes, depending on how tender you like your cabbage. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
