Method

  1. Heat half the oil in a pan with a lid and add the onion and peppers. Fry for 10-15 mins until soft, then add the garlic and chorizo and sizzle until the chorizo releases its oils.
  2. Add the potatoes and stir for 1 min. Pour over the stock, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 mins, or until the potatoes are tender. Remove the lid and season. Bring to the boil and boil rapidly to reduce until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  3. Meanwhile, fry the eggs in the remaining oil. Spoon the stew onto bowls, then place a fried egg on top and serve sprinkled with parsley.

    This is really really tasty and worth cooking but I found I didn't need the chicken stock - plain water would have done - as the chorizo made the stew salty enough.

    Very tasty dish - but not huge portions. I cooked it for 3 using the same amount of peppers and onion, only reducing the amount of potatoes and, obviously, eggs. This made it about right for 3 of us with some crusty bread, but I don't feel it would have been enough for four as the recipe stands - not as a main meal anyway. Enjoyed it very much though.

    Superb midweek dish. The better the chorizo the better the taste!

    Made this Saturday night with sweet potato instead of ordinary - went really well. Served it with crusty bread. Really tasty and simple to make. Leftovers are good for lunch the next day also.

    Make sure the pan you are cooking in is wide enough, it will help evaporate the liquid more quickly. Otherwise the potatoes will just go mushy if you need to boil for too long.

    Love this recipe and it is easy on the wallet. I add smoked paprika for extra flavour, and consume with a glass of red wine, just for authenticity ;)
