Para ver esta receta en castellano, pulse aquí: LAS RECETAS DE ANGELINES


Today we want to introduce to you, one of the most know dishes of La Rioja, Spain. You can see that no some many ingredients are needed, and that its a really easy recipe with tasty results. Hope you are going to like it. 



(for 8 people):

- 1 Kg. of potatoes
- 8 pieces of Chorizo (spanish sausage)
- 1 onion
- 2 dried capsicum (pimiento choricero)
- Tomato sauce
- Paprika
- Salt
- Olive oil







First. Place 2 tablespons of olive oil in a pan on medium heat and add the finely chopped onion. Cook it until is brown.

Second. Add the chorizo and cook until the juices come out.

Third. Add the potatoes in pieces (its important to break up the potatoes with a knife, not cut them). Add salt and paprika to taste. Cook it for 3 or 4 minutes while moving, so they will not stick on the bottom. 



Fourth. Place a tomato sauce tablespoon in the mixture.


 Fifth.  Add cold water until the potatoes are totaly covered (If it is necessary, you could add hot water afterwards if the liquid is leaving). In that moment you could also add the dried capsicum in pieces (remove the seeds before you add them).


Sixth.  Cook for 20 minutes. The time can change depending of the quality of the potatoes. To check if they are ready, poke them with a knife to see if the are soft. 


I hope you like them ¡buen provecho!.

Cheers,

Virginia

Note:
There is a variant placing pork ribbs in adition, to make the dish more filling. If you want to try it, cook the ribbs separately (because the ribbs need more time to cook than the potatoes) and add them in the fourth step.
