Chorizo hash

this is mostly from what i call "store cupboard" ingredients, so it's a good one to make when i'm out of other ideas

ingredients

• 1/3 - 1 /2 a chorizo, skinned and in small chunks
• 1med-large onion – chopped a bit chunky
• garlic – crushed
• potatoes, thickly sliced or cubed
• 2 big peppers, sliced roughly or 1/3-1/2 bag frozen sliced peppers
• handful of stoned olives
• smoked paprika powder
• dried or fresh oregano/thyme
• ½ tin chopped toms, or good dollop tom puree +water

• optional butter beans – small can, drained

method

• put chorizo chunks and onions into a heavy bottomed frying/sauté pan on a low heat, cover – stir occasionally – the fat comes out so the onions fry in the sausage fat – no need to add oil – allow at least 15 mins
• add garlic, dried herbs and paprika stir and fry a bit
• and potato chunks, stir well and cook a few minutes then add chopped toms or tom puree & water – simmer 5-10 mins
• add sliced peppers, olives and fresh herbs if using – add a bit of water if the mixture is a bit dry
• when peppers are done add butter beans and heat through
• salt & pepper to taste – serve with optional grated cheese

• for vegetarian version omit chorizo, use olive oil, extra smoked paprika and finish with chunks of haloumi or fried eggs
