Recipe video above. This is a great, hearty, full flavoured Spanish-inspired stew that's quick to make. Chorizo is the shortcut here, adds a ton of flavour into the sauce!Serve this as a chunky soup with crusty bread for mopping, flatbreads for dunking, or like stew over a bed of couscous, small pasta (like orzo/risoni, orecchiette), mashed potato or cauliflower puree. For an extra hit of protein, top with a fried egg. YUM!Serves 2 hearty appetites, or 3 normal appetites.
