Chorizo recipes

soup chorizo and stilton

nearlyrich

My son cooks it with pasta or rice in a kind of stirfry with peppers and onions or whatever is left in the fridge at the end of the week.

Delia's recipe is Chicken Basque and it's one of my dinner party faves as you can just leave it to cook withut a lot of faffing and it is really nice.

When I'm feeling lazy I like to chop up the chorizo and fry it a bit and then chuck in a tin of tomatoes and a tin of white beans (cannelini, haricot or butterbeans - whatever I have in the cupboard). I just let it all heat together for a while and then scoff it down with crusty bread. Delicious and only takes about five minutes to make!

I love chrizo and butter bean stew

chopped chorizo
chopped onion
tin of tomatoes
tin of butter beans
some chopped potatoes and carrotts
1 tsp paparika

Throw it all in the slow cooker and cook for a few hours...............enjoy!!


I sometimes add some normal sausages to this if I have some hanging around and a tin of mixed beans in chilli sauce.

You can use it in stews with beans etc - very nice as it gives a nice paprica flavour and you don't have to use too much. Something they do in Spain which is delicious is fry some finely chopped chorizo with some chopped bacon for a few minutes until cooked and slightly frazzled. Add some broad beans (as young as you can get - I use frozen baby broad beans which I defrost for 10 mins in hot water) and cook for another couple of mins until heated up. Then serve with some crusty wholemeal bread the paprica juices are great to mop up.:drool: A nice light supper!

That sounds absolutely fantastic!

I made a sort of chorizo chicken casserole thing the other day and it was lovely. I got some chicken legs and thighs and tossed them in some seasoned flour, to which I added some smoked paprika. Then I fried it off, just to give it some colour.

Then I fried off some chorizo slices (I drained off some of the fat), and then added an onion, chopped into eighths, a crushed clove of garlic, a bit more smoked paprika and a red pepper, chopped up the same as the onion, and cooked it off until the veg was soft and a little 'toasted' on the edges. Then I added a tin of tomatoes and a bit of veg stock (not too much), put it in a casserole, put the chicken on top and baked it till the chicken was tender. It was lovely served with rice, and I'd imagine that you could do something similar with pork.

Delia also has a Spanish chicken recipe where the chorizo is baked with rice and chicken pieces. Or, it's lovely if you fry it till it's crispy and serve it with fried eggs, where you cut a hole in a slice of bread and fry the egg in that.

This sounds like the Delia Smith Chicken Basque recipe, really delicious, the DS version has the rice cooked in the casserole, so it's a one pot meal.

Chorizo is great with mixed beans in a sauce.

That was my inspiration lol but this time it was more of a case of 'what's in the fridge that I can use', and the chorizo was making me feel guilty I'd really recommend the smoked paprika though, I'm addicted to it, it's delicious stuff.

i also cook something very similar to this however i add cous cous to the casserole at the end about 5 minutes before serving and its really nice and makes it go really far (enough for to v. large lunches the next day and is delicious cold)

My fave is to chop it and fry it with a red pepper and add to scrambled eggs for an amazing meal! Smells gorgeous as well!
