Chorizo Tomato Sauce For Pasta Or Chicken Recipes

CHICKEN AND CHORIZO PASTA

Steps:

• Boil pasta in a pot of water following the package instructions.
• Dice chicken into bite sized pieces, and sauté in a skillet with some cooking spray or vegetable oil, as well as all the seasoning.
• When the chicken is almost cooked through, add diced sun dried tomatoes, garlic and chorizo. Sauté for another minute, or until fragrant.
• Finally, add creme fraiche, and remove the dish from the heat. The creme fraiche will warm up, and does not have to be cooked.
• Drain off most of the excess water from the cooked pasta, leaving only a few tablespoons worth of liquid in the pot.
• Add the chorizo and chicken sauce to the pasta, and stir to combine thoroughly.

CHICKEN & CHORIZO RAGU

Steps:

• Fry the chorizo over a medium heat in a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish for 5 mins or until it releases its oil and starts to char at the edges. Add the onion and fry for 5 mins more or until soft. Tip in the garlic and cook for 2 mins before stirring in the paprika and sundried tomatoes. Add the chicken thighs and fry for 2 mins each side until they are well coated in the spices and beginning to brown.
• Pour in the chopped tomatoes and stock, and turn the heat down. Cover and cook for 40 mins until the chicken is falling apart and the sauce is thick. Stir the lemon juice through. Serve by piling spoonfuls of the ragu into hot jacket potatoes with parsley sprinkled over and a dollop of soured cream, if you like.
