Our white fish and chorizo stew is a really simple dish but full of flavour.
White fish and chorizo are two ingredients that combine beautifully together. Chorizo is a pork sausage that is widely used in Spanish and Mexican cooking. It is flavoured with smoked paprika which gives it a great flavour. It is usually smoked or cured but can also be bought raw. Once you've made this stew you will likely have some leftover so try another of our great chorizo recipes.
It is recommended that we eat two portions of fish a week. This white fish and chorizo stew is a great way to get one of those portions. We also have other fish recipes that will help you achieve your second portion.
If you follow a pescatarian diet, you can leave out the chorizo and include a tbsp of smoked paprika so you don't use the flavour. This recipe goes really well with some warm crusty bread.
Ingredients
- 11⁄2tbsp olive oil
- 2 red onions, finely chopped
- 1⁄2tsp ground cumin
- 150g chorizo, halved lengthways and sliced
- 400g can tomatoes
