    I added some Peppadew peppers for some extra spice and colour.

    We thought this was delicious - I used wholemeal bread for the crumb topping and a Knorr ham stock cube as I'd run out of the vegetable ones. Because my family love chorizo so much I added a little more than the recipe suggested (200g) and I am glad I did as I think the amount stated might not have been quite enough for the meat-loving men!

    Well worth doing, the only addition I made was to add some Parmesan chesse in with the breadcrumb topping. Delicious!

    Very tasty. I used Blandys madeira as I didn't have any sherry. and I also added grated cheddar to the breadcrumb topping.

    A great midweek supper - I used masala as I didn't have any sherry. Also blitzed some fresh parsley in with the breadcrumbs to use it up.

    WE'RE OFF TO BARCELONA NEXT WEEK SO WANTED SOMETHING TO GET US IN TO THE MOOD....THIS HIT THE MARK, DELICIOUS, WILL DEFINATELY BE LOOKING OUT FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON THE MENUS OUT THERE. DID PUT TWICE AS MUCH CHORIZO IN THOUGH AS I DIDN'T THINK 75G WAS ENOUGH. :)

    This recipe is okay but only okay. I doubled the weight of chorizo but should have doubled it again. I also added 30g parmesan to topping but should perhaps have used double that. Will only make this again when I need to use excess of leeks from allotment.

    Surpisingly more-ish! I only had two leeks but left everything else the same and it was great. Loved the crispy crumbs on top! We had it with some fresh bread, having the leftovers tonight. (Edited to add: The leftovers weren't particularly great so not worth any extra effort to make more for leftover purposes.)

    This is fine - an ordinary and easy supper but certainly nothing special. I used white wine instead of sherry and added cheese to the topping, and as others have said it really needs a lot more chorizo than the recipe suggests. I think this is more of a side dish and next time I'll be having it with a nice piece of pan fried sea bass!

    This is amazing! I make it all the time as do my friends and family. I add some grated mature cheddar to the breadcrumbs and use white wine instead of sherry. Definitely 5 out of 5!

    This is a regular favourite, but it does need lots more chorizo. Also parmesan or strong cheddar in the breadcrumbs give it an extra something.

    This is very tasty. I followed some of the suggestions and added more chorizo as well as cheddar to the breadcrumbs. Only had white wine but it worked fine. I didn't like the look of putting 4 leeks in so only used 1 and added a red pepper which was lovely. All in all will become a regular store cupboard favourite!

    Made this last night and it was tasty. Like many other commentators, I doubled the amount of chorizo and it also contained chilli which was a nice addition. I thought the amount of stock was too much, so only added 150ml which was just right. I also increased the topping and added extra cheddar cheese because that is what was in the fridge.

    Although tasty, warming and very easy to make, this is not a dinner party show-stopper and is a bit monochrome.

    I've made this seveal times now and we love it. I tried it with wine too, but think the sherry is the better option, and the topping is improved with cheese. Tonight there seemed to be too much liquid so I thickened it with cornflour.

    Really simple and delicious recipe but definitely needs more chorizo - atleast double the amount suggested.
