Meals for Under £10: Chicken and chorizo stew

Chicken and Chorizo stew (A Scots Larder/ Graeme Taylor)

THIS delicious stew is hearty and perfect after a busy day.

It’s so easy to make, too – even if your cooking skills are limited, you’ll find this as easy as pie.

The recipe is from food blog A Scots Larder. Graeme Taylor, the man behind the blog, is passionate about Scottish food and flavours and using the best ingredients we have available to make the most delicious meals.

You’ll need:
Olive oil for frying
100g chorizo, roughly chopped
1 ramiro pepper, roughly chopped
6 chicken thighs boned
250g baby plum tomatoes, halved
Tin of chopped tomatoes
Small sprig rosemary, finely chopped
Half a lemon, quartered
Splash of red wine
Tin of cannelini beans

Method:

1. Heat the olive oil over a medium heat in a heavy-based pan with a lid. Add the chorizo and pepper.

2. When the chorizo has released some colour and flavour to the oil, add the chicken thighs and seal on both sides.

3. Add in all the other ingredients except for the beans, stir and cover. Turn the heat down to low.

4. Cook for one hour and then add the beans. Cover and cook for a further 30 minutes if you want soup or leave uncovered if you prefer a stew consistency.

5. Remove the lemon pieces, check for seasoning and serve.
