Ingredients

  • 1 red pepper
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 200 g cooking chorizo sausages or a piece
  • 2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs (10ml)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (5ml)
  • 1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 portion of defrosted Basic Chicken Casserole for 4

Instructions

  • Chop the pepper into 1cm pieces, discarding the seeds and pith. If necessary, chop the chorizo into 2cm pieces
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan on a MEDIUM-HIGH heat
  • Fry the pepper for 1-2 minutes
  • Add the chorizo. Turn the heat down to MEDIUM and cook for 8-10 minutes turning occasionally
    If the pepper starts to burn, turn the heat down a little
  • Stir in the herbs and paprika, and cook for 15 seconds. Add tomatoes, stir in and turn the heat up to MEDIUM-HIGH
    If your tomatoes are very watery, add a tablespoon (15ml) of tomato puree and mix it in well
  • Add the chicken casserole and bring to the boil. Put the lid on the pan, turn the heat down to LOW and simmer for 25-30 minutes
  • Serve with rice or cauli-rice and a green vegetable.

Notes

Everyday Cooks Tips:

  • To speed up cooking, buy frozen sliced onions or prepare your own ahead of time
  • If you prefer, once you've added the chicken and brought it to the boil, you can cook the casserole in the oven for 40 minutes at 180°C/ 160°C fan/ gas mark 4/ 350°F.
