Delicious potato and chorizo stew

Delicious potato and chorizo stew

One of Spain's most delicious stews is patatas riojanas. This unique flavour comes from northern Spain, from the Rioja region, as the name suggests.

This is also one of Spain's best wine-growing regions. The Rioja wine that is matured and produced there is also used in this dish, which is what makes it so special.

This stew is very easy to prepare and, like all stews, tastes even better the next day.

You really must try it, you'll love it.

The preparation

Step 1:

Peel and dice the onion. Peel and crush the garlic. Wash and dice the peppers. Dice the bacon and slice the chorizo.

Step 2:

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion, pepper and garlic and fry until translucent. Season with a little salt. Reduce the heat slightly.

Step 3:

Then add the bacon and chorizo and fry. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4:

Then break the potatoes into pieces with a knife and add them to the pan. The pieces do not need to be the same size. Fry everything again for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 5:

Then add the paprika powder and white wine and simmer for a few minutes.

Step 6:

Finally, add water until everything is well covered and bring to the boil on the highest heat. Season with salt to taste.

Step 7:

Then reduce the heat to medium and cook for approx. 45 minutes (depending on the potatoes). The potatoes should be well cooked and soft. Done!
