Recipe
Classic Spanish Chorizo Stew
A hearty Spanish-style stew with smoky chorizo, tender potatoes, and rich paprika-tomato broth.
Ingredients
Method
Heat olive oil in a heavy pot and cook chorizo for 2–3 minutes until it releases its oils.
Add onion and cook until softened, then stir in garlic for 30 seconds.
Add tomato purée and smoked paprika, stirring briefly to bloom flavour.
Stir in chopped tomatoes, potatoes, bay leaf, and stock.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer 25–30 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Finish with chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread.
Notes
Use cooking chorizo for best depth and richness in the broth.
Simmer gently so potatoes hold shape while thickening the stew naturally.
Add a little hot water if you want a looser, soupier finish.
