Time 6h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 garlic
3 slices smoked bacon, finely sliced
500 g chorizo sausage, fresh
1 cup red wine
1 cup chicken stock
8 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
2 onions, big chunks
2 carrots, big chunks
250 g baby onions
2 tablespoons tomato puree
400 g chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon italian mixed herbs
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Steps:

  • Fry garlic with bacon and chicken on a high heat so that chicken is browned on both sides. No need to cook the meat completely.Place into slow cooker or oven proof casserole dish.
  • Fry chorizo in same frying pan on high heat so the meat becomes slightly crispy. Place into slow cooker or oven proof casserole dish. Try to retain juices.
  • In the original pan and juices, fry the carrot and onion on a high heat for a few minutes until starting to soften. Don't cook the vegetables completely.
  • Add red wine OR chicken stock and boil, stirring vigoursly for a few minutes.
  • Place into slow cooker or oven proof casserole dish with chicken/chorizo and the rest of ingredients and cook on low for 4-6 hours. this will depend on your slow cooker. If using the oven, use gas mark 2 for 4-6 hours.
  • Take out and leave to stand for a couple of hours to allow the flavours and consistency to settle. re-heat and serve with mash. any leftover sauce can be scooped up with fresh buttered bread, especially when you've run out of mash.
