Squid filled with chorizo

Squid filled with chorizo

4 medium-sized squid
1 onion (finely chopped)
1 large garlic clove (finely chopped)
1 can of chopped Italian tomatoes
1 small chorizo (skin removed and meat chopped)
1 bunch of finely chopped parsley
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg yolk
½ cup dry white wine or vegetable stock
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 small dried chilli (optional)

Preparation
1. Clean the squid, remove the tentacles and take out the skeleton. Remove the skin. Turn the squid inside out and clean under running cold water and turn back. Set aside.

2. Clean and chop the tentacles. Set aside.

3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until soft. Add the chilli, then the garlic, peppers, chorizo and 5 minutes later the chopped squid tentacles.

4. Fry for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat. Then add the bread and egg yolk. Mix all the ingredients well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

5. Put the mixture into the squid and close the opening with a cocktail stick. Do not put in too much filling or they will burst. If there is any stuffing left over, add it to the tomatoes; it gives a delicious flavour to the sauce.

6. Put the squid in an oven dish with the tomatoes and white wine. Cover with alufoil or baking paper.

7. Place dish in oven for 40-50 minutes at 180° C, until soft, stirring occasionally. If it gets too dry, add some more wine or vegetable stock to keep it moist.

8. Traditionally served with toasted or baked bread.

Chorizo, Avocado and Roasted Pepper Bowl

A great use of summer Spanish flavours in a healthy and spicy bowl.

English

Serves 3

Ingredients
3 fresh chorizo sausages
3 red peppers
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 ripe avocado’s
1 lemon
1 ciabatta roll
1 tin chickpeas
125g baby spinach leaves
7 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Method
Preheat an oven to 200°C. Rinse the peppers and place on an oven tray. Drizzle with 2 tablespoon olive oil and roast in the oven until the skins are black, about 20 minutes. Alternatively, place the peppers over an open gas flame until blackened. Place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave to stand until slightly cooled so the skins peel off easier.

Break the ciabatta into chunky pieces and drain the liquid from the chickpeas. Place both on an oven tray and drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat with 2 tablespoons olive oil and fry the chorizo sausages until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Peel the peppers, remove the seeds and cut into thin strips.

Add the sherry vinegar to the pan with sausages and allow to reduce slightly. Remove the sausages from the pan and cut into diagonal slices. Halve and peel the avocado’s and cut into thin slices.

In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and the reduced vinegar from the pan. Place some baby spinach leaves into a serving bowl and spoon avocado and peppers next to the spinach. Add the chorizo and chickpea-ciabatta crumb to the bowl and spoon over the dressing.

Pappardelle with Chorizo Ragu

One of our favourite cookery writers and stylists, Donna Hay, has inspired this recipe.

Serves 4

Ingredients
400 gr dried chorizo
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 sprigs rosemary
1 red chilli
2 cloves garlic
salt and pepper
good glug of red wine (about 100 ml)
1 x 400 g can peeled tomatoes
2 tablespoons brown sugar
400 g pappradelle
250 g buffalo mozzarella
green salad, to serve

Method
Remove the cases from the chorizo and roughly chop. Place into a Magimix (foodprocessor) and process until finely chopped, resembling minced meat. Set aside.

Bring a pan of salted water to the boil for the pasta. Finely chop the garlic, deseed the chilli and finely chop half of it (or more depending on how spicy you like it). Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Strip trip the leaves from the rosemary stalks and chop them roughly. Add the rosemary to the pan and cook for 30 seconds until crisp. Remove and set aside. Add the chorizo, garlic, chilli, salt and pepper to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy, stirring often.

Add the wine and cooked cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and brown sugar and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes. ( If you find that too much oil has come from the chorizo, you can also spoon a little off). While the chorizo is cooking, cook the pasta in the boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and reserve 100 ml of the cooking liquid.

Add a little of the reserved cooking liquid to the chorizo mixture to start with, making sure ragu has a nice consistency. Divide the pasta between 4 bowls. Top with the chorizo ragu and tear the mozzarella over. Sprinkle over the crispy rosemary, drizzle with some of the chorizo oil in the pan and serve with a green salad simply dressed with olive oil.
