TOMATO AND CHORIZO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large frying pan.
• Add sausage, celery, bay leaves, onion and paprika.
• Saute, stirring, over medium heat for 10 minutes.
• Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, and corn and cook over high heat for 5 minutes or until the tomatoes are pulpy and the mixture is thick.

PASTA IN CHORIZO & TOMATO SAUCE (SPANISH PASTA DISH)

Steps:

• Peel and chop the onion into 1/4-inch chunks. Peel and chop garlic. Remove the seeds and veins from the pepper and chop. Cut chorizo into round slices about 1/4-inch thick.
• Pour about half of the olive oil into a large frying pan and heat on medium. Once hot enough, sauté the chorizo slices, pepper, onion and garlic in the pan. Stir often. If necessary, add more olive oil to pan.
• Once the onions are translucent, add the can of crushed tomatoes. Sprinkle in the paprika. Stir and cook on medium-low for 10 minutes, careful not to burn the sauce.
• While the sauce is simmering, bring water to a rolling boil for pasta in a large pot. Add pasta and cook until al dente - about 10 minutes. Drain pasta.
• To serve, add pasta to frying pan and mix together with sauce. If you prefer, plate the pasta, then add sauce on top.

CHORIZO & TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes in a bowl with the onion and thyme. Season, then drizzle with the vinegar and oil. Let the flavours mingle while you cook the chorizo.
• In a hot, dry pan, fry the chorizo slices until browned on both sides. Serve the tomatoes with the fried chorizo, drizzled with a little oil from the pan.

CHORIZO TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium. Add oil, then stir in onion and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in jalapeño and cook until softened, about 2 minutes more.
• Crumble chorizo into the pan; sprinkle with chili powder, cumin and black pepper and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up chorizo into small chunks, until chorizo is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add eggs, pouring them gradually into the pan in a circular motion. Stir into chorizo mixture and cook until eggs are just set. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting to keep chorizo mixture warm while you heat the tortillas.
• Heat a separate pan (or a comal, if you have one) over medium. Add tortillas to the pan one by one, heating them through. (Flip each tortilla when it begins to puff up on each side, then remove when warmed.)
• Fill a tortilla with chorizo filling, then add cheese to taste and roll the taquito until it's shut. Repeat until you've used the remaining filling and tortillas. Serve with salsa, if you like.

PRAWN AND CHORIZO CAKES WITH TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Put the potatoes, onion, bay leaves and coriander seeds in a large heavy-based pan; cover with water and bring to the boil; cook the potato until it is tender; drain and discard the onion, bay leaves and coriander and mash the potato with a fork.
• Cook the corn cob in boiling water for 5 minutes until tender; drain, cool and remove the kernels from cob; add the corn kernels to the mashed potato; add the chorizo, cayenne and egg; and stir until all the ingredients are well-combined.
• Peel the prawns, remove the veins and chop the flesh into small pieces; add to the potato mixture, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine; shape ¼ cupfuls of the mixture into patties.
• Heat a small amount of the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat; cook 4 patties at a time for 3-4 minutes each side until the prawn pieces turn pink and the patties are golden.
• To make the omato Salsa: Cut the tomatoes into quarters and remove the membrane and seeds; thinly slice the tomato pieces and put in a bowl with the chilli, vinegar, oil and mustard; season with salt and pepper and mix to combine; serve the Salsa with the Prawn and Chorizo Cakes.
