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
We were at the fishmongers and spotted the most beautiful sea trout and they kindly gave us some fillets. They were so delicious and worked so well with the chorizo and earthy lentils. I can’t wait to make it again. As you can see from the picture we are very lucky to have such a…
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…
Giant Couscous, Chickpea and Chorizo Salad with an Orange and Pomegranate Dressing Recipe
I fancied a change from salad leaves and wanted to use up some store cupboard ingredients, so this salad was born. It was really tasty, the dressing was delicious it was sweet zingy and coated the couscous and chickpeas really nicely. I can eat chorizo with almost anything so those meaty slices made it more…
Warming Roasted Squash and Chorizo Soup Recipe
I love soup and I think squash works so well as when it is roasted it releases a lovely sweet flavour. Chorizo is another fridge staple in our house and when mixed in this soup you get a smoky slightly spicy depth of flavour. There isn’t much not to like about this if you enjoy…
Red Wine and Chorizo Risotto Recipe
A risotto is our fast food as it can be so flexible with its ingredients and cooked in 30 minutes. We add frozen veg to ours and we always have chorizo and leek in the fridge. While going through our cookbooks we came across a red wine risotto in Angela Hartnett’s book and thought we…
Monkfish on Spiced Beans with a Chorizo Crumb Recipe
I love monkfish it is so meaty and sweet. I wish is was still as cheap as use to be when used for scampi in the olden days. We do a lovely recipe which is lemon and pepper monkfish medallions (recipe here) but we thought we would try something more wintery this time. This dish…
Easy and Simple Gnocchi in a Chorizo Parmesan and Tomato Sauce Recipe
Fancy a simple and easy dinner that is full of flavour, this one is for you. It is so tasty, you get spice from the chorizo, sweetness from the tomatoes, acid and depth from the wine and fluffy filling pockets of gnocchi. I usually make a large batch of gnocchi when we have potatoes left…
Pan fried Hake with a Butter Bean, Chorizo and Crouton Broth Recipe
As it is fish Friday tomorrow and the weather has been so warm, why not try this summery hake broth recipe. I enjoyed every mouthful of this. As we used my frozen wholemeal bread (we freeze left over bread in portioned slices) instead of white bread, it meant we kept the whole dish healthy too….
Puy Lentil, Pickled Carrot and Chorizo Salad with a Wholegrain Mustard Dressing Recipe
Get ready for the week ahead with a nice healthy fibrous salad. I can’t rave about pickled carrots enough, they have lasted weeks and the flavour gets a little more spicy from the ginger and garlic the longer they pickle. I love lentils and the health benefits you get from them, but they do need…
Easiest Ever Risotto – We used Chorizo, Mushroom and Leek
If me and Paulie are stuck for something for dinner or if one of us is feeling unwell, our go to dish is a risotto. You can more or less add anything you have lying around in the fridge. So if you have an onion but not a leek, or bacon and no chorizo just…
