SAUTéED CHORIZO WITH RED WINE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and gently sauté the onion for a few mins until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a few mins more.
• Push the onion and garlic to the side of the pan and add the chorizo. Brown all over, then add the wine and stir in the honey.
• Cover and cook gently for 5 mins or until the sausages are cooked through and coated with the sauce. Add a splash of water if the pan is looking dry. Serve scattered with parsley and some crusty bread to mop up the spicy juices.

Steps:

• For the chorizo in red wine, heat a frying pan until medium hot, add the olive oil, shallot and garlic and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.

• Add the bay leaves and red wine, and cook until the volume of wine has reduced to just coat the chorizo.
• For the prawns with chorizo, heat a frying pan until medium hot, add the olive oil and garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the chorizo and fry for a further 1-2 minutes.
• Add the sea salt and prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the prawns are just pink.
• Add the dry sherry and deglaze the pan.
• Tip into a serving dish and sprinkle over the parsley.

• Add the potatoes to the pan and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes, before mixing in the chorizo and onions.

FRIED CHORIZO WITH GARLIC

CLASSIC MEXICAN FRIED BEANS WITH ONIONS AND GARLIC

Steps:

• In a large well seasoned or nonstick skillet, heat the oil or pork fat over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until deep golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cook for a minute or so, then use a slotted spoon to scoop in about 1/4 of the beans, leaving most of the liquid behind. With a bean or potato masher, or the back of a large spoon, mash the beans into a coarse puree. Add another portion of the beans, mash them in, and continue until all the beans have been added and coarsely mashed. Add about a cup of bean liquid or water and stir frequently over the heat until the beans are still a little soupier than you'd like to serve them (they'll thicken as they sit.) Taste and season with salt if needed.

• Cut the sausages into 5mm slices; cook the sausage slices in a large heated pan, preferably non-stick, stirring until crisp; drain on absorbent paper.
• Discard the fat from pan and wipe the pan clean with kitchen paper towelling.
• Heat the olive oil in the same pan; cook the sausage slices, garlic, Italian herbs and red pepper flakes (if using) until they are heated through and serve the sausage slices on toothpicks, sprinkled with the fresh parsley, as part of an antipasto platter.
