Chicken and chorizo casserole
<p>A great winter dish works really well will couscous. The secret to the taste of this dish is the smoked paprika, it delivers a real smokey flavour to the casserole.</p>
<p>1. Joint the chicken into breasts, legs, thighs and wings and then cut the breasts in half.</p>
<p>2. Use a large heavy-base casserole that can be used on the stove-top. On a high heat, heat some olive oil in the casserole and brown the chicken in two batches. Reserve the chicken.</p>
<p>3. Add the chorizo to the casserole, and immediately turn the heat down to low. After about a minute or so add the onions and garlic and cook gently for five minutes. </p>
<p>4. Add the smoked paprika and cook for a further 2 minutes. Now add the white wine and use it to get all the nice tasty bits of burnt chicken off the sides of the casserole.</p>
<p>5. Return the chicken to the casserole and then add the tinned tomatoes and haricot beans along with the tomato puree and the sliced red pepper. Add enough stock to almost cover the meat.</p>
<p>6. Put the lid on teh casserole and then put into an oven at 180 for 45 minutes. If the sauce is a bit runny, slake a teaspoon of flour and add it to the casserole, then return it to the oven for 10 minutes with the lid off.</p>
