Chorizo sausage recipe ideas?

[GodisaDj]

I've brought some as it was on offer, any ideas on recipes? Thinking with chicken and pasta maybe? Anything really?

Thanks in advance

I do a pasta bake (don't shoot me!) - fry onion, garlic and chorizo (i sometimes add ham too) together, add sweet pepper. Add tinned tomatoes, smoked paprika and season. Once sauce cooked stir into pasta with mozzarella and put more mozzarella on top before baking.

Or there's chorizo with squid or scallops

My favourite chorizo recipe is a stew/soup.

Fry an onion. Add chopped chorizo to the pan. Add a clove of garlic and a red chilli chopped and cook for a bit. Add a tin of tomatoes and half a pint of vegetable stock and a tablespoon of tom puree and cook for a couple of minutes. Add some chopped cabbage, a handful of chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.....EAT!

I am a dreadful cook, but I am lucky to have a whizz in the kitchen for a husband. He does two great chorizo recipes. One is a chorizo risotto, with butternut squash. The other is a chorizo stew with cannellini beans. The sauce for both is tomato-based. If you want me to find out how he makes them, let me know and I'll ask him for the details.

A friend made this for us a couple of weekends ago. I tried to replicate it last week and it was just as nice (point being if I can do it anyone can

Fry some chopped red onion, garlic and diced chicken breast until chicken breast is lightly browned. Chuck in a large pan or slow cooker. Add a large jar or carton of passata, half a bottle of red wine, generous squirt of tom puree, sliced chorizo, red or green pepper, new potatoes cut in half and whatever herbs you have to hand. Basil and rosemary work well. Season and stir occassionally and simmer for approx 2 hours if in a pan or around 4 hours in a slow cooker. You can add or omit ingredients to your own personal preference. We served it with hot buttered baguettes...

Hmmmm I'm drooling here! Fabulous ideas, thank you so much. That slow cooker one sounds lush (and easy too!)

Wouldn't mind trying the rissoto one with butternut squash, that sounds yummy.

Thanks all

I make a chicken, chorizo and rice dish.

Chop and onion and pepper and add to the pan, chuck in a chopped chorizo and fry gently.
Add a teaspoon of paprika, and a bit of smoked paprika along with some frozen mixed veg.
Add chopped cooked chicken and paella rice. Stir to combine then cover with boiling water, add some chicken stock concentrate and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.
Add the juice of a lemon and chopped parsley, serve in big bowls until you need to undo your trousers. :o

chorizo works really well with beans

fry the chorizo to get the oil out, and then set it aside in a dish. Sweat sliced onions in the chorizo oil and when soft add a tin of tomatoes, couple of tins of white beans, add the chorizo back in, some fresh thyme leaves, cup of chicken stock glass of wine and then just keep over a low heat until almost all the liquid has reduced away.

this works really well with a salad and some crusty bread as a light supper

to big it up I have also added in some small new potatoes and more stock to make sure they cook properly and about five minutes before they are done I put some cod fillets on the top to steam....the cod was gorgeous with the chorizo!!

Jambalaya is good

Delia's Chicken basque

DS makes his own Chorizo Pasta. Fry onion & garlic, a chopped whole red or green chilli, tomato puree, chopped chorizo and anything else he can find, and stir into cooked pasta.

I second jambalaya I'm having it tomorrow

Ooh I'm having Jambalaya tomorrow too

Spaghetti carbonara, substitute bacon for chorizo.

I love chorizo and find paella a bit hard to make but can do a mean chicken, chorizo and pea risotto.

Also chuck some into a chilli con carne, or for a quick rice dish - waitrose do frozen boiled rice and I fry off some onion, garlic chorizo and anything else knocking about and stir the rice in.

I do a yummy pasta with chorizo, prawns and squid.

Chop garlic, red onion and chilli into small bits, chuck in chorizo, add white wine and roasted tomatoes (oven baked for 45 mins before) put in the prawns, add the squid and finally stir in single cream and mix with tagliatelle.

Yum!

Best ever recipe. Baked Spanish risotto. Cook it. You will thank me.

This is delicious. But I leave out the oranges!

They're quite nice chopped up and added to minestrone soup. Or chopped up and added to spag bol sauce. Or in an omelette. Some yummy recipes here.

Chicken, chickpeas and chorizo.

Chuck 4 diced chicken thighs, a tin of tomatoes, a tin of chickpeas, drained, some dried oregano, and the chorizo, cut into 1/2 cm "coins" into a casserole. Cook slowly in the oven with a lid on, then without a lid for the last half hour, to dry out a bit. You could add some white wine and chicken stock, as well.

Spanish stew

This is a Nigella recipe.

Slice a couple of onions and fry them slowly in the bottom of a casserole. Cut the chorizo up into 1/2 cm coins, and add them. Slosh in a small wine glass of dry sherry (or white wine) and bubble away. Slice potatoes on top of the onions and chorizo. (I don't bother peeling them, and I make them quite chunky - 1.5cm thick). Pour water over the potatoes, covering up to about half way up the potatoes, add a bit of salt, and bubble away on the cooker for about 10 mins. Then pop in the oven for about an hour. The potatoes will be a bit crispy on top, and should be cooked through. The gravy is quite runny, so you might want a bit of bread to soak it up.

With sausages, lentils, beans and carrots gorgeous and filling stew. Allegra McEvedy just google. The beans are my addition :) I have a load of chorizo, think I shall do a risotto tomorrow!

We have had this and it is lovely www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2195654/chorizo-pilaf

Waitrose have a recipe card for Pierade out at the moment which included a few ounces of chopped Chorizo for extra flavour. Very easy and tasty.

Fanny I was going to link to the very same. On a chorizo-unrelated tangent, there's a baked mushroom risotto on MN that's good. You might also like Nigella's kedgeree-inspired risotto (which is neither baked nor contains chorizo). I made it with some smoked something (one of those sustainable, cheap fish with a funny name) and normal eggs on Friday. Was lush.

Chorizo in all its forms is ace with eggs for a hungover breakfast.

I do what sticklebug does, but I use Puy lentils instead of cabbage.

Kids love this too. It is very earthy and nourishing and yum.

What Fanny said! Bloody lush that is

Chorizo, chicken and butterbean casserole is a standard in this house!

Patatas Bravas. There's a great recipe on goodfood. We're having that tomorrow night and there won't be a smidge left as everyone loves it.

I also do a chorizo and bean stew.
