Chorizo Pear Red Cabbage Recipes

CHORIZO & RED CABBAGE TACOS

Steps:

• Toss together the cabbage, lime juice, coriander and ½ tsp salt in a bowl, then set aside.
• Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chorizo and fry for 5 mins, then tip in the onion and pepper along with a pinch of salt and fry for 7-10 mins, or until the onions are golden and the peppers are beginning to soften. Stir in the garlic and paprika and fry for a further minute. Add the pinto beans and roughly crush half of them in the pan with the back of a wooden spoon. Season well and stir everything together.
• Warm the tortillas through in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for around 30 seconds on each side. Fill with the bean mixture, red cabbage and the avocado.

CHORIZO & CHICKPEA SOUP

Steps:

• Put a medium pan on the heat and tip in the tomatoes, followed by a can of water. While the tomatoes are heating, quickly chop the chorizo into chunky pieces (removing any skin) and shred the cabbage.
• Pile the chorizo and cabbage into the pan with the chilli flakes and chickpeas, then crumble in the stock cube. Stir well, cover and leave to bubble over a high heat for 6 mins or until the cabbage is just tender. Ladle into bowls and eat with crusty or garlic bread.

RED CABBAGE WITH MULLED PORT & PEARS

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients except the pears in a large pan and cover with a tight- fitting lid. Cook on a low heat for 1 hr, then stir through the pears. Cover and cook for 1 hr more until the cabbage is really tender. If at any point the cabbage looks dry, add a splash of water. If there is still liquid in the pan at the end, turn the heat right up to evaporate it. Season with a little salt and serve. The cabbage can be prepared ahead and either chilled or frozen. Then reheat in the pan or in a microwave.
