Chorizo Stew 26 June 2009

Leftovers freeze very well.  Not an original recipe, but I don’t know where I got it from.

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. oil
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 green pepper, diced
• ½ lb. chorizo sausage, casings removed
• 1 large potato, peeled and diced
• 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cans chopped tomatoes
• 1 Tbsp. tomato paste
• 1Tbsp. paprika
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 1 spring onion, sliced
• salt & pepper

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add in the chorizo and cook thoroughly.
2. Add in the bay leaves, onion, and green pepper, sauté for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat.
3. Add potatoes, beans, tomatoes, paste, and spices.  Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down very low and let simmer covered for 20 minutes.
4. Stir, then leave partially covered for another 20 minutes or until the stew is as thick as you like and the potatoes are cooked.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve topped with spring onion.
