Chorizo And Potato Stew Recipes

CHORIZO AND POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Dice the chorizo (1/4 - 1/2 inch).
• Mince the onion and peel the potatoes. Submerge the potatoes in a bowl of water to keep them from browning.
• Put a large heavy bottommed over medium heat. Add the olive oil and heat through.
• Add the onions and cook until beginning to brown (about 10 minutes).
• Add the chorizo, stir, and cook for about 2 minutes.
• Cut the potato into inch sized chunks right over the pot, but only cut half way through. Twist the knife to break off the rest. This leaves a broken edge which releases extra starch into the potato stew, resulting in a richer, thicker broth.
• Add the hot paprika, salt, and the pimenton (aka smoked paprika).
• Cover the contents with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add in the bay leaves, onion, green pepper and chorizo.
• Saute for 2-3 minutes over a medium-high heat, then add the potato, beans, tomatoes, paste and spices.
• Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down very low and let simmer covered for 20 minutes.
• Stir the stew, then leave partially covered for another 20 minutes or until the stew is as thick as you like and the potatoes are cooked.
• Season to taste.
• Ladle into bowls and top with the spring onion.

POTATO, PEPPER & CHORIZO STEW WITH FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a pan with a lid and add the onion and peppers. Fry for 10-15 mins until soft, then add the garlic and chorizo and sizzle until the chorizo releases its oils.
• Add the potatoes and stir for 1 min. Pour over the stock, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 mins, or until the potatoes are tender. Remove the lid and season. Bring to the boil and boil rapidly to reduce until most of the liquid has evaporated.
• Meanwhile, fry the eggs in the remaining oil. Spoon the stew onto bowls, then place a fried egg on top and serve sprinkled with parsley.
