Chicken and Chorizo Stew Recipe

One of the reasons I love my slow cooker, is because I have something cooking at the start of the day and leave it to bubble away until we are ready to eat late. Another advantage is that we can all eat the same meal at different times of the day. This week I decided to make chicken and chorizo stew, I made that much that there was even some leftover for freezing

Ingredients

* 3 Chicken Breasts
* 200g Chorizo
* Tin of mixed beans (we had mexican ones for an added kick)
* 1 Large Onion
* 3 Carrots
* 2 Medium Potatoes
* Tin of Chopped Tomatoes
* 500ml Chicken Stock
* 1 Tbsp Tomato Puree
* 2 Tsp Smoked Paprika

Preparation

* Dice the onion, cut the carrots into thick slices and cut the potatoes into small chunks, lay these on the bottom of the slow cooker

* Place the mixed beans over the top of the carrots, onions and potatoes.

* Cut the chorizo into small pieces.

* Put the chicken breasts and chorizo on top of what is already in the slow cooker.

* Mix the paprika and tomato puree into the chicken stock.

Sausage and Chorizo Wrap Recipe

I don't know about you but there are definitely some days when I really can't be bothered to cook and I just want something quick and easy to make, food that requires little effort is essential. One thing that Daddy Hazelden and I love are sausage and chorizo wraps, simple to make and you can add whatever you want to them.

Ingredients

* 6-8 Sausages
* Chorizo Sausage
* Black Pudding (optional)
* Cherry Tomatoes
* Oil for cooking

Preparation

* Cook the sausages and black pudding under the grill as per instructions on the packet.

* Cut the chorizo into slices.

* Halve the cherry tomatoes.

* Once the sausages and black pudding are cooked cut them into chunks.

* Warm up some oil in a pan and fry all of the ingredients together.

* Once cooked, place in a wrap with your sauce of choice, I opted for tomato salsa and some lettuce.

As I said the good thing with this recipe is you can add in what you like, we sometimes switch the tomatoes for peppers and of course it doesn't have to go in a wrap, I find a nice baguette is always really tasty too!!
