So I make this at least twice every single time these are on half-price special, its amazingly good. Plenty of calories though..
Chorizo and potato stew
Ingredients
700g potatoes, quartered
60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
1 red onion, peeled, chopped
500g chorizo sausage, sliced (roughly 4 sausages)
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp dried chilli flakes
400g can butter beans
410g can diced tomatoes
2 fresh bay leaves
150ml beef or chicken stock
4 tbs chopped flat-leaf parsleyMethod
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan of cold, salted water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes or until just tender. Remove from heat. Drain.
- While potatoes are cooking, heat a pan until medium-high heat and add the chorizo (no need for extra oil). Cook until it starts to turn golden. Transfer chorizo to a plate and set aside.
- Add olive oil a large soup pot and add the onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until just softened.
- Add garlic and chilli to the same pot. Cook for a few seconds to infuse the flavour with the onions then add potatoes, butter beans, tomatoes, bay leaves and the chorizo.
- Pour in stock, bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes or until thickened.
- Add the chopped parsely then stir through and serve.
Serves 4
There is no mention of peeling the potatoes. Please tell me you do.
Why?
Depends on the potato (type, whether it's washed, organic and so on) but some reasons:
Pesticides (and/or Solanine - visible when you see a green colour under the skin)
Dirt
Aesthetics
and most importantly taste (absorbs flavour and is softer).btw… just my opinion. My wife doesn't always peel the potatoes for a curry as she likes it that way.
Why?
Edit. Got beat, didnt think i typed that slow.
I use white washed potatoes with the skin on in my other stews (after another rinse), but I do peel them for this one as this makes them break down easier and take on more of the flavours. I didn't write that in as thats up to the person cooking whether they like it or not.
Ever tried this with meat in place of potatoes?
Sounds like a good stew for diced beef heart.
There's not much reason to peel potatoes these days.
I actually make something similar.
I add paprika, tinned corn and arborio rice sometimes as well.Oh, be sure to drain and rinse those butter beans!
Let me know how it turns out.
Oh, be sure to drain and rinse those butter beans!
Pffft!
I paid for that soluble fibre, and I'm damn well gonna eat it!
*Pffft*
And butter up that bacon!
Then bacon up this chorizo sausage!
Do you have it on anything or just on it's own? Being a stew I guess on it's own.
Sounds good might give it a bash, I usually can't go past making a chorizo & mushroom risotto though.I have it on its own, if you split it up into 6 meals I would have it with crusty bread.
Edit: Btw this can be made camping as its only 2 pots, on a winter night it would be very very nice.
Good call on the campling, not alot of ingredients would need refrig.
You need to post the nutrition information for this recipe, from the ingredients you listed it appears it is very high in fat. Chorizo is possibly the single most unhealthy food there is. Someone could die of a heart attack from eating this.
You can't tell other people what to do.
i do a similar version but with no butter beans but sauteed shredded white cabbage in it :) and a diced red capsicum with some smoked paprika
Primo Chorizo has 25.3% fat.
Makes it taste better! Better to be careful of sugar usage these days
I got small wrists. Need to get fatter to put on all those watches you post up mate!
What did you expect from a cured piece of meat, honestly?
Fat adds flavour. It's sugar that people really need to be wary of.
I will have to make sure i dont eat churizo in the same week i have connoisseur cookies and cream to avoid a heart attack.
This is a great deal. Well done.
I remember when $11 was the normal price. And that was only a few years ago.
I remember when maccas soft serve used to be 30 cents. How the times have changed
Yep.
Just a couple of years back they were around $8 half price.
Thanks OP, got some on Sunday. Chorizo and chickpea stew makes a nice quick tapas dish. It's a simple and there are plenty of recipes online. Here's Rachel Khoo's recipe.
Thanks OP, got some on Sunday. Chorizo and chickpea stew
Oh yum, can I come over to your place on Sunday, I'll bring nibblies?
Rachel Khoo is yum.
These are on sale fairly often. I really like adding it in my pasta and as a pizza topping as well. Very tasty
Everyone needs a sausage in their life.
And some spicy boi.
This was the same price a week ago.
chorizo fried rice is about the easiest meal we make at home, its cheap and tastes pretty good too.

Can we just eat Chorizo like antipasto without cooking ? Love it.
No. It must be cooked.
No it doesn't have to be cooked. They are already cured. I eat these from the bag on occasion.
Not sure I would eat it without being cooked. You would probably taste how much fat content is in there. I get that its cured but the taste seems enhanced by cooking them.
Cooked fat is always better than uncooked. Oils taste better when they're heated for some reason.
Not all chorizo is fully cooked so check the packet.
Yes you most definitely can eat these without cooking, but they taste so much better cooked!
I often eat those without cooking actually, I just find if you need to cook it, then why dont just buy fresh minced sauce to cook it ? Btw, love chorizo
You shouldn't eat pork products but even never eat raw pork products, they can introduce parasites into your, some of them burrow into your brain and cause dementia and death.
Please read this https://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/20/health/tapeworms-invade-b…
"You shouldn't eat pork products"
Why?
" Beef derives 60% – 80% of its calories from fat; pork, 80% – 95%; chicken, 30% – 50%; and fish, 5% – 60% percent. Meat is also rich in cholesterol. A 3 1/2 ounce serving of beef contains 85 mg of cholesterol; pork contains 90 mg; mackerel fish contains 95 mg; turkey, 83 mg; tuna, 63 mg; and chicken (skinned-white), 85 mg."

"The World Health Organization has classified processed meats including ham, bacon, salami and frankfurts as a Group 1 carcinogen (known to cause cancer) which means that there’s strong evidence that processed meats cause cancer. Eating processed meat increases your risk of bowel and stomach cancer. Red meat, such as beef, lamb and pork, has been classified as a Group 2A carcinogen which means it probably causes cancer."
"To reduce your risk of cancer, Cancer Council recommends eating no more than 1 serve of lean red meat per day or 2 serves 3-4 times per week. Red meat includes beef, lamb and pork.
Cut out processed meats altogether or keep them to an absolute minimum. Processed meats include bacon, ham, devon, frankfurts, chorizo, cabanossi and kransky.
Cutting down on red and processed meats will reduce your cancer risk."

There is your 'Why'. I recommend not eating any of those foods at all. The person with the soup recipe adding 1/2kg of chorizo is shocking.
Well, a lot of people would be dropping of the perch then. A guy who worked with me, who is a Serbian said they eat a lot of pork and many people have pigs on farms, yet Serbia didn't go extinct. If anything, they would be a prime example for showing the real connection between cancers and pork. Yet, the reality is they are no more or less healthy than for example Australians.
On the other hand, it goes without saying we should eat healthier, but on the other, other hand, there are many more things that can cause cancer and yet, nothing is done about it.
I'd say stop worrying too much, you will die anyway. So live a life while you can, people won't stop eating processed foods just because you told them so.
@bargainparker: Australians are not healthy and Serbians are not healthy either.

"Cardiovascular disease, heart disease and heart attack
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death in Australia, with 45,392 deaths attributed to CVD in Australia in 2015. Cardiovascular disease kills one Australian every 12 minutes.Cardiovascular disease is one of Australia's largest health problems. Despite improvements over the last few decades, it remains one of the biggest burdens on our economy.
Cardiovascular disease

CVD was the main cause for 490,000 hospitalisations in 2014/15."
claimed the lives of 45,392 Australians (nearly 30% of all deaths) in 2015 - deaths that are largely preventable."Preventable they mean not eating things like chorizos
You know, listening different organizations claiming how many Australians die each minute, day, week, year, I would expect this to be no mans' land by now as according to researchers so many people die that we would all drop of the perch.
on the other hand as I said, it is better to eat healthier food, but at the same time I am not obsessed with it. I eat pork and processed food at times. My doc says so far so good. There are people who led healthy lifestyle their whole life and got cancer. Then you have people who smoked their whole life and yet lived to an old age.
BTW, you are not healthy either, you will die. So just chill and enjoy life while you can. Those worms 6 feet under won't worry whether you ate healthy or processed food. They'll love you either way.
I like these but they dry up so fast and they're really quite tough. I prefer the softer variety of cured meats.
i thought they are sweet potatoes….
I must admit this is far from the best quality but works ok. It doesn't age very well either but if can accept quite a mild taste then go for it or jazz up with some chilli oil etc….
Often on special at this price at WW or Coles.
Coles sells two types and one is likely edible uncooked but the other one that both WW and Coles sell, isn't cooked or cured.
So yeah, I'm of the opinion that the Primo sold at both, needs to be cooked.
Its the Continental brand which is sold in the Coles Deli that is cured
https://shop.coles.com.au/a/a-national/product/coles-deli-ch…
As the OP mentions WW, I think they are referring to the Primo at the deli dept.I put chorizo in beef nachos. Heart attack in a bowl.
This is in the current catalogue, ending today.
So, be quick if you want some!
