A touch of magic


We’re having chorizo yet again today. This time it will be as the meat in a tomato sauce with penne & garlic bread.

I find something quite magical about chorizo. It’s in the way that paprika-laden oil seeps out into pan, colouring & flavouring everything else in the pan.

It’s not an ingredient I’d even heard of, let alone tried, until after we moved here some twenty years ago. Now we seem to have it quite frequently, hence our freezer having so many leftover bits of chorizo rings.

Once we’re through this bagful we should have a bit of a gap before we return to the theme. The week ahead looks more varied as we move into using up chicken breasts & cooked lamb instead.

The Fox has decided he wants to have a go at another old favourite – Mince Collops. We’ve plenty of minced beef in. It’s just of a more recent vintage & I’m tackling the freezer chronologically. One of these days we might get in some fresh food, get back to doing something more original but for now we continue to enjoy old favourites, some not visited for a while.
