  6. Sprinkle in a little paprika, chop all the cooked meats into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pot, slice the sausages (blood sausage and chorizos) into rounds, add them in, mix everything well, and deglaze the pot by pouring in the white wine.
  7. Let the mixture cook for about 5 minutes, then add the cooked white beans, stir well, and let it all simmer together over low heat for about 15 minutes so the flavors can meld and the sauce can thicken.
