Spanish Chorizo and Potato Stew

May 6, 2015 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

This recipe makes me think of my blogger friends – it’s reminiscent of the homestyle Spanish dishes prepared by the lovely Chica Tanya, I used a clay cazuela identical to one that I gave Maureen, and I’m pretty sure Lorraine and Charlie are going to tease me about being a cougar when they see the clip below.

Young Spanish chef Omar Allibhoy is, as the hipsters might say, totes adorbz. He recently joined the Jamie Oliver Food Tube with this inaugural recipe. It sounded simple and I had all the ingredients on hand, so I thought I’d give it a go…

. . . . .

I only had raw chorizo, but it worked perfectly well…

I cracked the potatoes as instructed, but next time I’ll use a dinner knife rather than my large chefs’ blade – I was a bit concerned about losing a finger…

As I didn’t have fresh tomatoes, I used tinned chopped tomatoes. Cooking in my beloved clay cazuela felt authentic and made washing up a doddle, but if you don’t have one, a wide sauté pan or pot should work just as well…

Accompanied by a freshly baked loaf of sourdough, it was an easy and delicious dinner…

I liked this recipe so much that I bought Omar’s book – on Kindle of course!

    Looks tasty. Didn’t have you down as a hipster but a cougar is a different matter.

    Have a wonderful day.

    This looks like a nice hearty meal and high on the tastiness index. Whoa, a cougar huh Celia? You go girl!

    Sometimes you need the simplest of dishes in order to bring out the best in the flavours of the amazing produce you are using. This looks like it would be full of delicious promise and it reminds me of Ms Chica as well :) I can see why you bought the book…LOTS of eye candy ;)

    Magic word – chorizo! I will definitely give this a try.

    Looks delicious! Hmmm, a cougar, who would have thought! My husband teases me about being a cougar, even though I am ONLY one and a half years older than him.

    A tasty looking dish for a family weekday meal. More tempted by the cazuela than the fella.

    Have always hated the term ‘cougar’ in this particular context . . . to me it is still only a 4-legged cat :) ! Lovely, tasty recipe: thumbs up . . . but not my type of guy I am afraid.

    Yum… both the food and the chef!!

    Simple, tasty and delish. I love, love, love using smokey paprika but a little goes a long way.

    Gorgeous all round methinks! I’d use fresh chorizo too, just as you did. In fact, I think I will be making this this week :) The cazuela definitely adds flavour. I love how he shows to cut the potatoes, that’s how Big Man’s sisters taught me for lots of the dishes they make. I was always surprised they didn’t chop down onto a board and it’s similar to the slicing you use for tortilla too!

    This look so Mouthwatering! This dish is so perfect in every way. Loved it.

    Just my cuppa tea

    Did I say cougar? Okay but there’s nothing wrong with being one right? :P

    Damned, I`m hungry now but just started working :o)

    I love spanish cuisine and this recipe looks delicious and simple :)

    Sounds delicious, Celia. Peter loves chorizo. I wonder why I am not getting your posts by email any more?

    So simple, yet so delicious and I bet if there was nay left over it would have tasted even better the next day reheated :) Liz xx
