Making this up as I go along - onions, chopped, and sweated off with some garlic in olive oil. A large pinch of ground cumin and a knife edge of smoky paprika stirred in. Chorizo sausages - a uncooked string - added and browned a little. A near half-bottle of white wine added, just enough to cover the sausages, added and reduced by half. A pint of chicken stock poured over, a stir and a simmer for 30 minutes or so.
Looking good so far! A pinch of pepper added along with a quantity of salad potatoes halved. A further half hour simmering, perhaps a bit longer to get those potatoes nicely cooked through. Completion! Apart from the serving with a some decent bread and a topping of chopped parsley. Considering I made it up as I went along this Chorizo and Potato Stew was rather good.
A hearty red wine from Portugal was served as an accompaniment, which stood up remarkably well to the spiciness of the sausages and deep flavours of the juices.

Dammit! I knew I forgot something when I went to Borough. Brindisa chorizo! I'm now rather jealous because you have been eating Brindisa chorizo and I haven't and won't be able to until I next go to the market. :(
I think improvised recipes are best anyway and the spiciness in that stew sounds fabulous.
My offering for this event will be with you shortly. I'm afraid it ended up being a long one :)

I have to say, it sounds really nice and once I find some nice chorizo (and have also tried to perfect my jambalaya), I will definitely give this a try... although the picture kinda makes me think about how it'd come out the other end. Maybe the chorizo should be chopped up a tad? I'm just sorry I found out about this stew making thing before I got a chance to perfect my own beef and guinness stew recipe and get it on my blog. Although after seeing the Beef Bourguignon recipe on Nami Nami, I fear it wouldn't come close.

It was rather tasty Mitchenall; the sausages were rather small after the long cooking, so no, I don't think they should have been chopped up. The left over ones where however and went into the baked eggs recipe shown over on spittoon.
