Chorizo and Sausage Goulash

Oh yes, I said it, and it's goooooood. Got this off "Something for the Weekend" and I liked how it looks so much that I tried it! Also I made it for my lunch this week, and it keeps wonderfully well, and has a lovely thick sauce to it, that just LOVES loads of bread to soak it up.

It is also one of the shorter-cooking weekly meals I've made in a while, takes only about an hour from start to finish. Not sure it's the healthiest though, but it's not too bad, I've tried to be good on the the days I've it though, cos it's full of yummy/bold things.

Anyway here it is.

Ingredients-
225g Chorizo
800g Beef sausages (or pork ones I'm sure would be lovely, or any sausages for that matter)
1 onion sliced thin
2 cloves of garlic chopped up finely
1 red pepper sliced
2-3 chilis seeded or not again depending on how hot you want it ;)
1-2 tbsp paprika or even more if you like paprika!
olive oil
200ml of beef stock
100g flour
50g-100g sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
a hand full of fresh parsley

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C. In a large pot, fry the sausages and chorizo in a small amount of olive oil until they are nice and brown and crispy (try to avoid eating them all at this stage-I almost made that mistake)

2. Take them out and sweat the onions in garlic in the copious amount of lovely red tainted oil (sweat=gently fry until transparent not brown).

3. Then add the flour and fry for a little longer, then put back in the sausages, chorizo, sliced red pepper, chilis and the stock.

4. After you put in the stock then add the paprika NOT before as it burns easily and isn't nice when burned.

5. Then put the pot in oven for about half an hour to 40 mins.

6. Take it out and stir in as much sour cream as you like-depending on how creamy you like it. I used about 50g and it was nice and thick.

7. Add the parsley, chopped, to the top and enjoy!

As I said I had it with LOADS of bread. Think they had it with rice on SFTW, anyway have it with whatever you like.


Let me know what ya think peeps!
