Chorizo Sauce

English
This will make your kitchen smell like Spain. Good for serving with pasta or roasted vegetables. You could even put this on tortillas, melt some cheese on top and have a decadent snack...
Serves 8
- Chorizo Sausage (5)
- Red Pepper (2, diced)
- Red Chilli (1, sliced)
- Garlic (2 cloves, chopped)
- Can of Tomatoes (1)
- Smoked Ground Paprika (1 tbsp)
- Onion (Half, diced)
- Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper
Preparations
-
Step 1
Deskin the sausages by cutting a slit all the way down and easing them out of the skin.
-
Step 2
Slice into inch-thick chunks.
-
Step 3
We want to get some colour on the sausages first rather than throwing all the ingredients in the pan at the same time. Fry off the sausages until brown on a medium heat.
-
Step 4
Put the browned sausages into a bowl and...
-
Step 5
... hack at them with scissors! Now we have a nice variation of textures and colours - some of the tender inside with some of the caramelized outside.
-
Step 6
Get your vegetable ingredients ready.
-
Step 7
Keep the oil from the sausages in the pan, add some more olive oil and soften the onion, garlic and chilli over a medium heat.
-
Step 8
Add the red pepper, smoked paprika powder and your sausages back to the pan. Stir to mix well PROTIP: use a bigger pan than I did.
-
Step 9
You'll want to eat it already but you can't! The moment the smoked paprika goes into the pan your whole kitchen will smell like Spain.
-
Step 10
Add the tomatoes and a little boiling water to just-cover the rest of the ingredients.
-
Step 11
Simmer on a low heat for 30 mins.

and you can get them in National Azabu if you're in Tokyo. They aren't super authentic but they get the job done!
