Chorizo stuffed Roasted Chicken
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 pound ground pork
1/4 pound bulk chorizo sausage, finely ground
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
12 slices of white sandwich bread
2 cups chicken stock
Salt and cayenne
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 egg
1 (4 to 5 pounds) fresh chicken
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large saute pan, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, brown the ground pork and chorizo for about 3 minutes. Add the onions, celery, and bell peppers and saute for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are wilted. Place the bread in a large glass rectangular baking dish and cover with the chicken stock over the bread. Soak the bread for about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the bread from the stock and squeeze each slice of bread, reserve the remaining stock. Combine the bread and remaining stock with the Sauteed mixture. Mix well. Season the dressing with salt, cayenne and a pinch of crushed red pepper. Stir in the parsley. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely. After the mixture has cooled, stir in the egg. Season the entire chicken with Essence. Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the stuffing. Using butchers twine, tie the chicken to secure the cavity, legs and wings. Place the chicken in the oven and roast for about 1 hour. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and continue to cook for 1 hour or until the meat starts to fall of the bones and the juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the oven and carve the chicken into serving portions. Serve the roasted chicken with the stuffing.

Cube some chicken, brown it along with some sliced onions and peppers, add some sliced chorizo, some garlic, some chilli. Then add a carton of passata, if you haven't got that then use a couple of cans of chopped tomatoes, let it bubble away and add some caster sugar.
Serve it with pasta.

Rated: 4 out of 5 by 3 members Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes Ready In: 1 Hour 10 Minutes
Yields: 4 servings
"Not a recipe for people on a diet - chicken, sausage, and penne is baked in a creamy tomato sauce. I cook the meats, pasta, and sauce all at the same time, but it can be done individually and refrigerated before baking it in the oven."
INGREDIENTS:
3 1/2 cups penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch
cubes
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 chorizo sausage, cut into chunks 1 1/2 cups tomato puree
1 cup light cream
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside.
3. Heat the oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, and cook until firm and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper and chorizo and cook for 5 minutes until the chorizo is hot and the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat.
4. Pour the tomato puree, cream, and red pepper flakes into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Add drained pasta and sauce to the skillet containing the chicken and mix well. Spoon the mixture into an oven proof dish. Sprinkle the Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese over the top. Bake 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
paella sounds the best.
first get some paella rice (all large shops sell it) although if you have a local asda they make a fab fresh paella which is prepared for you. (cheating i know but when your rushed it's cool)
1 mug full of rice per person (doesn't sound a lot but it isn't)
2 red peppers, sliced
wns and squid but this is cause my hubbies spanish.
i find cooking in a wok is best, as the heat is more regular and there's more room.
some paella rice has to be washed and boiled first others can be added to the wok/pan with the other ingredience.
follow the packet instructions.
1. cover the whole base of the wok/pan with olive oil. and heat very high.
2. season with salt, pepper and add the chilli flakes.
3. into the oil add the onion, pepper, chicken and chorizo. stir continuously to avoid sticking. when the chicken looks cooked (around 7 mins) reduce the heat and let it cook on a medium heat.
4.add the rice and peas cover and simmer, stirring regulary. leave for 10/15 mins and then if your using fish add this. cover and simmer on a very low heat for 10 mins.
this is a delicious meal but it's VERY filling. i always serve with a fresh salad, usually green salad, fresh bread and a cold white or rose wine.
good luck x x
