Chorizo recipes

sarahmelita

I bought a chorizo from Lidls as it was cheap but am running out of ideas of what to do with it! So far I've put it in a lentil soup and with some pasta.

Not sure what else to do with it though! Any ideas gratefully recieved!

Risotto/paella with onions and peppers - it's lovely.

Chorizo Bake

2 red onions sliced
2 peppers - green or red sliced
basic white sauce (butter, flour, milk)
chorizo - cut into 1/2" chunks
cheese (Manchengo is nice but any work just fine)

Put all in casserole dish (grate cheese on top of onions peppers and sausage) Bake in oven for around 35 mins. The spices in the chorizo make the sauce a nice pinky reddy colour and it's lovely with crusty bread!

jambalaya is also lovely - here's a recipe from a quick google (but when i've done it i just bought a jar of sauce from discovery!)

This is a cracker, very much Spanish Peasant food

Chorizo sliced
tin of chick peas drained
large jar passata
2 red onions chopped
couple teaspoons tom puree
2x crushed clove garlic
teaspoon paprika
squirt chilli paste

Slice chorizo and add to large pan. Add everything else, and slow cook for at least an hour
Serve with patatas bravas or a nice crusty loaf.

Absoulutely perfect for rainy days!

Failing that, I like it sliced really thinly with rocket on a homemade pizza

I cook it in a soup/stew.

I firstly sautee the onions with paprika and garlic, then i add white wine and stock. I then add cabbage a couple of types and other veg if you want. When its nearly done add a tin of chick peas and the chorizo but don't cook too long.

To be honest it tastes better the next day.

My spanish dad cooks it this way.:T

I think Delia does some chorizo and chicken kebabs.
Or from the Sainsbury's magazine (Jan)

Hot Chorizo and Fino (tapas):
315g chorizo
1 tsp olive oil
100ml fino sherry

Slice chorizo into bitesize pieces. Heat oil on medium heat in a frying pan and when hot (and starts to smoke) fry the chorizo. Colour each side (takes seconds) until slightly crisp. Add the sherry and leave to bubble for just a few seconds (to burn off the alcohol). Serves 8

I did have a chicken cassoulet (sp?) recipe that used chorizo in too from the Good Food magazine - which I seem to have mislaid (OH loves it ) so if anyone knows which one I means and have it please let me know.

Enjoy,
