Chorizo on Middle Eastern Pomegranate Molasses Haricot Beans
I love Middle Eastern flavours. I was tidying up my store cupboard and at the back was half a bottle of pomegranate molasses, I was determined to use it in something so this salad was born. My friend is Israeli and she brought me back some Zaatar that her family had made. It’s delicious and…
Chorizo and Chickpea Salad with a Lemon and Dill Dressing
This is such a versatile salad and the bonus is its healthy, colourful and very tasty. The dill and lemon together are so fresh, it works so well with the chickpeas and chorizo. I have learnt a tip with chickpeas, once drained I gave the a good rub and then pick off as many skins…
Griddled Chorizo on a Pickled Fennel, Lentil and Tomato Salad
When I was out to lunch recently I had a dish which came with quick pickled cucumber and courgette salad, it was so delicious. I did this version using fennel as it holds up well to flavouring and I knew it wouldn’t get too soft. The pickling liquid isn’t too overpowering at all it actually…
Roasted Cauliflower, Chorizo and Currant Salad with an Orange and Za’atar Dressing and Cobnuts
The roasted cauliflower, spicy chorizo and sweet orange flavours work so well in this salad. Cauliflower is so versatile and there are lots of different ways of using it.

Pot Roast Pheasant with Butter Beans and Chorizo
I love summer and I’m sad to see it go but on the other hand the produce this time of year is amazing. This one pot is so comforting and healthy. I find roasted pheasant a bit dry so pot roasting it keeps it really moist. The butter beans are so tasty and the chorizo…
End of Summer Chicken, Chorizo, Courgette and Tomato One Pot
We have been so lucky with our late summer vegetables this year. The tomatoes aren’t as sweet as the height of summer so they work really well being cooked. This is a light tasty one pot dinner using up the last bits of summer vegetables. The chorizo adds a really nice smokiness and meaty flavour….
Sweet Potato, Chorizo and Feta Frittata
I love frittata as you can really chuck anything into it and it doesn’t need many ingredients. It’s a bit more substantial and fluffier than an omelette. I decided to go for Mediterranean flavours that work really well together. You get sweetness from the potato, saltiness from the feta and a spicy kick from the…
Cooked Chorizo on a Bulgar Wheat Salad Loaded with Roasted Courgettes and Tomatoes
So we are well into spring (sort of) so all the British tomatoes and courgettes are starting to appear. I love casseroles and roasted root vegetables salads but I am ready for some lighter lunches and dinners. I really like bulgar wheat but unless you pack it with flavours it can be a bit bland….
Prawn, Chorizo and Avocado Salad with Crispy Capers and Eggless Lime and Chilli Mayo
Oh my this salad was so yummy.

I used delicious prawns from greenland, they have so much flavour and sweetness. I also used a…

Amazing Octopus with Chorizo, Potatoes, Lemon and Capers Recipe
Oh my where do I begin with this amazing recipe. We often eat and really enjoy octopus out in tapas restaurants and abroad. So I was at the fishmongers and there were these 2 octopus and I couldn’t resist. I read if you freeze them it helps with the tenderising process so that’s what I…
Baked Stuffed Tomatoes with a Parmesan Crumb Recipe
I have wanted to try baked tomatoes for ages. I did stuffed peppers a while back and they turned out good. As the summer is starting to wind down I really wanted to have a go. In my local grocers they had some large tomatoes in stock, perfect I thought. The chorizo works so well…
Fish Friday – Sea Trout Fillets on a Chorizo, Leek and Lentil Ragu Recipe

Wild Rice with Halloumi and Chorizo with an Orange, Pomegranate and Walnut Dressing Recipe
This salad was simple but really tasty I always think chorizo and halloumi work so well together. I love wild rice as it keeps a bit of crunch and has a nuttier flavour. It is simple but really satisfying and each mouthful is really tasty. I had mine in my lunchbox at work and it…
