Prep 15 min Cook 55 min Serves 4 Hard

  • Onion2, halved and sliced
  • Garlic4 cloves, crushed
  • Potato3
  • Olive Oil2 tbsp
  • Bay Leaf2
  • Stock or Broth500 ml
  • Red Wine200 ml

  • Smoked Paprika1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Parsleyhandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown the chorizo deeply in the Olive Oil in a heavy pot — patience here pays off later.

  2. 2

    Remove it, then let the onion and garlic soften in the drippings with the smoked paprika.

  3. 3

    Return the chorizo, add the stock and bay leaves, and bring to the gentlest simmer.

  4. 4

    Cover and braise low and slow until the chorizo yields to a spoon, about 45 minutes.

  5. 5

    Skim the fat, reduce the sauce to a glaze, and serve with something starchy to catch every drop.

Chef's tip

Skim the fat from the surface before the final reduction for a cleaner sauce.
