Guisado De Chorizo Y Papas Recipes

PAPAS CON CHORIZO (MEXICAN CHORIZO AND POTATOES)

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, cook chorizo over medium-high heat in a large skillet, breaking up any large clumps, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove chorizo to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon, reserving about 1 tablespoon of grease in the skillet. Add oil if necessary to make up 1 tablespoon.
• Cook onion in the same skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add potatoes to the skillet and saute until potatoes are lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in chorizo and season with salt and pepper.

GUISADO DE CHORIZO Y PAPAS

Steps:

• Briefly sauté the onions and mushrooms in olive oil.
• Add the garlic, potatoes and chorizo and sauté until the potatoes are browned slightly but not so much that the garlic starts to burn.
• Add the paprika, chicken broth, black pepper, and bay leaves.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until the potatoes are soft, between 20-30 minutes.
• Add more chicken stock if necessary.
• About five minutes before the stew is done, you may want to skim off some of the fat that will have risen to the top as the chiorzo cooked.
• When you are done, stir in the basil.
• Once the potatoes are cooked, if the stew is too thin just make a paste of cornstarch and water and stir rapidly into the stew.
• It will thicken up after just a couple minutes over the heat.
• Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
