Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice the chorizo sausage into bite-sized pieces and add it to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy. Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Add them to the skillet along with the sage leaves. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the sage leaves are slightly crispy.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked cannellini beans to the skillet. Stir to coat the beans in the chorizo fat and aromatics.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and season with salt and black pepper. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and the flavors meld together.
Stir in the browned chorizo and cook for another 2-3 minutes to combine and rewarm the sausage.
Remove the skillet from the heat and squeeze the lemon juice over the dish. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, alongside crusty bread or as a side dish with your main course.
