For those of you who really enjoy a ‘meat & potatoes’ meal, this dish is for you. I really enjoy this recipe and it has become one of my favourites.
This is a simple pan fried dish of chicken, chorizo & potatoes. Red onion and Oregano add some extra depth of flavour. However the Romesco sauce really transforms this meal into something extra special. The sauce provides a mildly spiced, yet tangy, smoky flavour through the roasted peppers, chilli flakes and smoked paprika that are mixed through. Used as a ‘dipping’ sauce or spread over your meal, either way, you will really love this dish.
Served with some broccollini is great or else some other of your favourite vegetables.
Of course, a beer or two, to have with it is also a great addition.
