Chicken and Chorizo Pasta
This pasta dish was just what we needed tonight to fill us up and warm us through.
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 uncooked chorizo sausage cut into rounds about half inch thick
1 red onion, halved and sliced
1 red or yellow pepper, chopped
1 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
1 glass of red wine
Pasta of your choice
1. Cook enough pasta for 4 people in salted water and set aside.
2. Fry the chicken in olive oil until just cooked through and remove from the pan. Repeat with the chorizo sausage.
3. Fry the onion in the oil left from the chorizo for a few minutes until it starts to soften, removing any excess oil.
4. Add the pepper and fry for another couple of minutes, then turn up the heat and add the red wine. Allow to sizzle and reduce, then add the tomatoes and simmer until the sauce thickens and reduces.
5. Put the chicken and chorizo back into the pan along with the cooked pasta. Stir everything well and allow to heat through, then season to taste and serve.
Serves 4

How thickly did you cut the Chorizo rounds? That looks so tempting; the colour as much as anything else does it, I think.

Thanks superchef!
Hey Julia! This recipe sounds delicious. I only started cooking with chorizo recently, and I love the idea of adding it to pasta for a little kick.
I really should allocate some time to checking out blogs that I don't know...thanks to foodie blogroll and I found your site. Will be back for more slices of cherry pie. ;)
Awwww this really is too good. I love chorizo. I knew I shouldn't have looked at your blog on an empty stomach!
Hi, your food looks so tasty, i might a have a go at making this dish as it's getting so chilly in england! Can we exchange links to each others blogs? I've been reading your blog for a while now and would love to connect it to mine. I've added you as a link to mine, hope this is okay! x
Erin - chorizo is fantastic to cook with; it adds so much flavour and is lovely and meaty!
Hi Rasa - I'm pleased you found me, it's great to have you here.
Hiya Tinsie - lol :-)
MrsB - It certainly is getting chilly isn't it! I do keep a list of sites that link to mine on the left-hand side of my blog so I'll add yours in.
That food looks delicious! I plan to make it for dinenr on Tuesday:-)
I use chorizo to season beef stews, the one I make is like Hungarian Goulash but without the peppers, instead I have parsnips, swedes and carrots and chorizo works very well in this dish.
Hi Julia! Wonderful blog!
I thought all of your food looked especially tempting!
I am a little embarrassed though...
How much is a "tin" of tomatoes?
I look forward to reading your posts (I have subscribed via google)

Eva-l - I love the thought of using chorizo in beef stews - great idea!
Hi Lewis - no need to be embarrassed at all, I completely failed to mention the size didn't I! I used a 400g tin (can) of chopped tomatoes. Thanks so much for your kind comments.
