CHICKEN & CHORIZO RAGU

Steps:

• Fry the chorizo over a medium heat in a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish for 5 mins or until it releases its oil and starts to char at the edges. Add the onion and fry for 5 mins more or until soft. Tip in the garlic and cook for 2 mins before stirring in the paprika and sundried tomatoes. Add the chicken thighs and fry for 2 mins each side until they are well coated in the spices and beginning to brown.
• Pour in the chopped tomatoes and stock, and turn the heat down. Cover and cook for 40 mins until the chicken is falling apart and the sauce is thick. Stir the lemon juice through. Serve by piling spoonfuls of the ragu into hot jacket potatoes with parsley sprinkled over and a dollop of soured cream, if you like.

• Stir in the chorizo and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, till done.
• Add the diced tomatoes and sliced black olives. Turn down heat and simmer till desired thickness is reached (I like mine pretty thick). Season with salt and pepper to taste and served over pasta or chicken (or perhaps something else as well?).

SPANISH CHICKEN AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F/200°C.
• Add the olive oil to a large, oven-safe skillet/pan and warm over a medium heat. Add the sliced chorizo and cook 2 minutes, then transfer to another dish using a slotted spoon.
• Add the onions and red peppers to the skillet/pan and cook for about 8 minutes stirring every so often. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic and paprika to the onion mixture and cook another 2 minutes, then transfer the onion mixture to the dish with the chorizo.
• Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper then add the chicken thighs to the skillet/pan, skin side down and cook 7-10 minutes to sear the skin. Once the skin has turned golden brown, flip over and cook another 7 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken from the skillet/pan and set aside.
• Pour the oil remaining in the pan out then return it to the heat. Add the red wine, stock and bay leaf. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any sticky bits.
• Add the chorizo and onion mixture back to the pan along with thyme, turn the heat up high and bring the mixture to a light boil then reduce the temperature to maintain a simmer. Let simmer 10 minutes to reduce the liquids.
• Add the chicken back to the pan, skin-side up. Transfer to the oven and let cook uncovered for 12-15 minutes until the chicken has fully cooked through (internal temperature should be at least 165°F/74°C).
• Remove from the oven, season with additional salt, pepper and thyme if needed and enjoy.
