Chorizo Cabbage Stew Recipes

CHORIZO & CABBAGE STEW

Steps:

• Put the chorizo, onion and potatoes in a large non-stick pan. Leave to fry in the oil that comes from the chorizo, stirring occasionally for about 5 mins.
• Tip in the tomatoes with 2 cans of water, add the stock cube, then bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 10 mins. Add the cabbage, then cover and cook 3-5 mins more until it is just tender. Ladle into bowls and serve.

CHORIZO AND CABBAGE STIR-FRIED NOODLES

Steps:

• Soak the noodles in a large heatproof bowl of very hot water until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain the noodles and set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, sambal oelek, lime juice and 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil in a small bowl and stir well.
• Heat the vegetable oil and the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up into small pieces and stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink in the middle and crispy in some spots, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the chorizo to a plate with a slotted spoon. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil left in the skillet.
• Add the jalapenos, ginger, garlic, scallion whites and light green parts, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring, until the vegetables just begin to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is wilted. Add the noodles, chorizo and sauce to the skillet and cook, stirring and tossing, until everything is well combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide among bowls and garnish with the scallion greens.

CROCK POT CHORIZO STEW

Steps:

• In the crock pot on high temperature, dissolve the bouillon in the hot water.
• Add the cabbage, hominy, chiles, onion, celery, garlic, bell pepper, and freshly ground black pepper.
• Over a high temperature in a skillet, saute the unskinned chorizo sausage in olive oil until browned, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Add cooked chorizo to the crock pot.
• Simmer on high for 3 to 4 hours, or until it has reached the texture you prefer.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, add your favorite garnishes, and enjoy.
• Serve along with nice crusty bread or- even better- cornbread!
• Note: if your chorizo didn't add enough spices/flavor for you, feel free to add ancho chile powder, cayenne, jalapeno, whatever floats your boat. :).
