Add the olive oil to a large shallow pan over a medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of Maldon sea salt. Cook gently for 5 minutes until softened, then add the garlic, rosemary and chorizo and fry for another 5 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the chorizo is starting to crisp.
Add the tinned tomatoes, followed by the butter beans. Stir these in and allow the mix to bubble and thicken for 5 minutes. Add the spinach, allowing it to wilt through the sauce and then zest in the lemon and season well with more salt and black pepper.
Serve the stew sprinkled with the parsley, the crumbled feta and some toasted sourdough.
