Delicious roast tomato and capsicum soup with crispy chorizo and fresh basil

<p>Packed with flavour you’ll be making this soup again and again, it’s perfect for the whole family and really cheap to make.</p> <p><strong>Ingredients</strong></p> <ul> <li>4 large capsicums</li> <li>6 large vine ripened mixed tomatoes (yellow, purple, red etc)</li> <li>1 punnet cherry tomates</li> <li>2 garlic cloves</li> <li>2 celery stalks</li> <li>1 red onion</li> <li>1 tbs tomato puree</li> <li>120g chorizo sausage (cut into cubes)</li> <li>½ bunch basil</li> <li>1 tin kidney beans</li> <li>Olive oil</li> <li>Salt and pepper</li> </ul> <p><strong>Directions</strong></p> <p>1. Cut the top off your capsicums and scoop out the seeds then place upside down onto an oven proof tray lined with greaseproof paper. Slice the large tomatoes into ¼s and place on the tray with the whole cherry tomatoes. Slice your red onion into ¼s and add them to the tray.</p> <p>2. Drizzle with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper and make sure all the veg is coated. Roast in the oven at 220°C for 15-20 mins until they start to colour and the skin from the capsicum blisters. Once cooked remove and leave to one side.</p> <p>3. In a pan slowly fry the chopped garlic and sliced celery. Remove the thin skin from the chorizo and dice then add ½ of the sausage and some finely chopped basil stalks to the pan. Cook for 2-3 mins until golden brown.</p> <p>4. Next add the tomato puree to the chorizo and cook for another 2 mins, add a little water so the tomato puree doesn’t burn.</p> <p>5. Once the capsicum has cooled, carefully remove the skin then roughly chop. Add the capsicum, roasted tomato and onion to a large thick bottomed pan along with the chorizo mix in the pan.</p> <p>6. Add 1 litre of boiling chicken stock to the pan and bring back to the boil. Whilst the soup is coming to the boil fry off the other half of the diced chorizo until really crispy then tip onto some kitchen roll to remove some of the grease.</p> <p>7. As soon as the soup starts to boil remove from the heat. Blend until smooth and adjust the seasoning, careful not to add too much salt. Add ½ bunch of basil leaves and blend once more.</p> <p>8. Finally mix in a tin of drained kidney beans into the soup and serve. Top with crispy chorizo.</p> <p><strong>Tips</strong></p> <p>Double the batch and freeze it until you need a quick dinner one evening. Remember this has meat in it so make sure to remove from the freezer the night before and heat until piping hot before serving.</p> <p>Recipe courtesy of Richard Kerrigan, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rkthebeachlife/">The Beach Life</a>, Qualified Chef and Personal Trainer.</p> <p><em>Republished with permission of </em><a href="https://www.wyza.com.au/recipes/roast-tomato-and-capsicum-soup-with-crispy-chorizo-and-fresh-basil.aspx"><em>Wyza.com.au.</em></a></p>

Corn, prawn and chorizo fritters

<p>These fritters make a great leisurely brunch to share with friends while away for a few days, or chilling at home. The combination of corn, prawns and chorizo is a great flavour match, particularly with the addition of sweet smoked paprika and cumin – just add a hit of chilli (feel free to add more if you like it hot), and you're almost done.</p> <p>I love these fritters served simply with sliced avocado and the super-quick chilli lime mayo, but to make them go even further, (and transform them into a substantial dinner dish), serve with runny-yolked poached or fried eggs, or even a few rocket leaves tossed in a little olive oil and a squeeze of lime.</p> <p>Another obvious side is a tomato salsa made with chopped ripe tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, coriander, chilli and ½ teaspoon of sugar – stir through a little olive oil and lime juice to serve. If you can't get your hands on fresh corn (or can't be bothered with the faff), drained tinned corn will work fine.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Serves:</span></strong> 6 (makes 12)</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients:</span></strong></p> <ul> <li>3 cooked cobs corn</li> <li>300g raw prawns</li> <li>3 eggs</li> <li>1 red onion</li> <li>1 ¼ cups plain flour (plus 1-2 tablespoons extra if needed)</li> <li>1 ½ teaspoons baking powder</li> <li>1 teaspoon cumin</li> <li>½ teaspoon sweet smoked paprika</li> <li>½ teaspoon chilli flakes</li> <li>3 spring onions</li> <li>Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper</li> <li>200g chorizo (2), finely chopped</li> <li>½ red capsicum, finely chopped</li> <li>¼ cup olive oil</li> <li>3 avocados, halved and sliced</li> <li>Poached or fried eggs optional</li> </ul> <p><em>For the coriander and lime mayo</em></p> <ul> <li>2 cups coriander leaves</li> <li>½ cup good quality mayonnaise</li> <li>½ cup sour cream</li> <li>1 clove garlic, crushed</li> <li>Finely grated zest of 2 limes</li> </ul> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Method:</span></strong></p> <ol> <li>Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius.</li> <li>Stand the corn cobs upright and slice off the kernels. Roughly chop the prawns and set half aside.</li> <li>Put half of the corn into a food processor with half of the prawns and all of the eggs. Roughly chop half of the onion and add to the food processor, finely chop the remainder and reserve to garnish.</li> <li>Add the flour, baking powder and spices to the food processor and pulse to combine. Roughly chop two of the spring onions and add to the mixture. Finely slice the remaining spring onion and reserve to garnish. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and pulse again just until thick and very chunky.</li> <li>Tip out into a bowl and add the remaining corn kernels, chopped prawns, chorizo and red capsicum. Fold to combine.</li> <li>Heat oil, two tablespoons at a time and cook fritters in batches, 2-3 minutes each side until cooked through. (Keep cooked fritters in the oven while cooking the rest).</li> <li>Serve fritters with avocado, garnished with reserved spring onions and red onion, and a good dollop of coriander and lime mayo. If desired, also serve with fried or poached eggs.</li> <li>For the mayo, put all the ingredients into a small food processor and whiz to combine. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Coriander and lime mayo can be prepared up to three days before serving and stored in a sealed container in the fridge.</li> </ol> <p><em>Written by Sarah Tuck.

Chicken, chorizo and olive tray bake

<p>“This wonderful mid-week bake requires very little labour, yet is incredibly delicious. Sherry, a fortified wine, adds complexity and character. I use a Spanish variety but there are some great Australian options that you can find at most bottle shops. This dish is versatile and the ingredients are interchangeable. I sometimes swap the chickpeas for parboiled waxy potatoes or add different herbs, such as bay leaves and oregano, or chilli and tomatoes. A simple salad of herbs and peppery green leaves, such as rocket, works really nicely with this,” writes Justine Schofield in her latest cookbook <em>Simple Every Day.</em></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Serves</span>:</strong> 4</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients</span>:</strong></p> <ul> <li>6 boneless chicken thighs, skin on, cut in half</li> <li>1 onion, thinly sliced</li> <li>1 red capsicum, thinly sliced</li> <li>2 chorizo sausages, thinly sliced on the diagonal</li> <li>2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil</li> <li>salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper</li> <li>1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg</li> <li>4 garlic cloves, unpeeled and bruised</li> <li>150 g green Sicilian olives</li> <li>1 x 400 g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed</li> <li>3 rosemary sprigs</li> <li>8 cm strip of orange zest</li> <li>80 ml dry sherry (or a dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc or chardonnay)</li> <li>125 ml chicken stock</li> </ul> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Method</span>:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Preheat the oven to 200°C.</li> <li>Combine the chicken, onion, capsicum and chorizo in a bowl. Drizzle over the oil and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.  Mix well with your hands.</li> <li>Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium–high heat and add the chicken, skin-side down. Seal on each side for 2–3 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp. Remove and place, skin-side up, in a 2 litre ovenproof baking dish. To the same pan, add the onion, capsicum and chorizo and seal for 3–4 minutes until golden. Now add to the baking dish along with the garlic, olives, chickpeas, rosemary and orange zest and arrange in an even layer.</li> <li>Drain away any excess oil from the pan and heat over high heat. Add the sherry, stir to deglaze and cook for 1 minute or until reduced by one-third. Pour the reduced sherry and the stock in and around the meat and vegetables, then bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and the pan juices have reduced. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.</li> </ol> <p><img width="146" height="191" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7266954/simpleeveryday_book-cover_146x191.jpg" alt="Simple Every Day _Book Cover (6)" style="float: right;"/></p> <p><em>Recipe courtesy of </em>Simple Every Day<em> by Justine Schofield (Plum, $39.99).</em></p>

Creamy potato bake with chorizo and bacon

<p>I love a good potato bake! It’s such a great side dish to a BBQ or any number of main meals. Think of this as the loaded potato bake of your dreams – the chorizo and bacon gives it so much flavour and that creamy cheesy sauce surrounding it is to die for! If your budget is a little tight you replace the chorizo with more bacon, but personally I find it a worthy expense for the taste it delivers.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Serves:</strong></span> Six</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients: </span></strong></p> <ul> <li>850g small washed potatoes, skin on</li> <li>1 small brown onion, thinly sliced</li> <li>100g diced bacon</li> <li>100g chorizo sausage, diced</li> <li>2 teaspoons minced garlic</li> <li>1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper</li> <li>2 cups cooking cream</li> <li>1 1/2 cups grated tasty cheese</li> <li>Sprinkle of paprika</li> </ul> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Method:</span></strong></p> <ol> <li>Spray the slow cooker bowl lightly with oil.</li> <li>Re-wash your potatoes to ensure they are nice and clean, then slice them thinly – if you cut them thick you will need to increase the cooking time to ensure they are tender.</li> <li>Lay half the sliced potatoes into the slow cooker.</li> <li>Add the onion, bacon and chorizo.</li> <li>Cover with the remaining potatoes.</li> <li>Add the garlic and pepper to the cream and mix well.</li> <li>Pour over the potatoes.</li> <li>Cover, putting a tea towel (dish towel) under the lid, and cook on high for two hours.</li> <li>Reduce the heat to a low setting and cook for 2 hours.</li> <li>Scatter the cheese over the potato and sprinkle with paprika.</li> <li>Replace the lid and tea towel and cook for a further 30 minutes, so the cheese can melt.</li> <li>Serve straight from slow cooker.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Cooking cream is less likely to split during cooking than regular cream. If you have the AUTO function, use that and cook for 4 1/2 hours. I use the paprika on top as it gives the look of browning – but you can finish it in the oven if you prefer.</p> <p><img width="133" height="203" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/37187/slow-cooker_133x203.jpg" alt="Slow Cooker (1)" style="float: right;"/></p> <p><em>Written by Paulene Christie,slow-cooking internet sensation and busy working mum with a passion for sharing new and exciting recipes for the slow cooker.</em></p> <p><em>This recipe appears as part Slow Cooker Central Super Savers, a collection of budget-friendly recipes for all occasions published by ABC Books.</em></p>
