SPANISH CHICKEN CASSEROLE

This recipe was gradually modified from a Vegetta Stock advertisement published in a magazine Australia. The chorizo is absolutely essential to the flavour. I prepare the recipe in a wok but a large fry-pan would also work. It freezes well and people tell me it tastes great.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

750 g diced chicken
1/2-1 chorizo sausage
olive oil (for frying)
1 red capsicum, diced
1 green capsicum, diced
1 -2 medium onion, diced
1 -2 medium carrot, diced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
440 g crushed tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
2 cups chicken stock (to cover) or 2 cups beef stock (to cover)
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons paprika
1 cup red wine (optional)

Steps:

  • In a wok brown the chicken in the olive oil and remove.
  • Add the chorizo, garlic, capsicum, carrot and onion to the wok and stir-fry about 5 minutes (until softened).
  • Add the paprika and fry until fragrant (about 1 min), add the red wine and fry until the alcohol (but not the liquid) has evaporated.
  • Then add the tomato paste, tomatoes, bay leaf and stock and cook a further 5 minutes, adding only enough liquid to almost cover the other ingredients.
  • Add cooked chicken and heat through.
  • Transfer into a really large casserole dish (sorry I don't know the capacity) and bake at 180°C for 1 hour.
  • The original recipe added olives and parsley after the hour and cooked a further 15-20 minutes, I found this was too much but you may wish to try it.
  • We eat it with Jasmine rice.
