The chorizo sausages that I bought at my local farmers market are nicely fatty and quite coarse in texture.
The perfect sausages to add to a stew then! It gives a tremendous flavor boost to the tomato sauce because of all that oily fatty stuff inside.
Yum.
Just absolutely yum.

A comfy stew with chorizo, olives and tomatoes over creamy saffron mash!
- 4 fresh chorizo sausages
- 1 ½ lbs potatoes for mash (675 g)
- 3 large garlic cloves chopped
- 3 medium fresh tomatoes
- ½ small onion chopped
- 1 ½ cup beef stock (360 ml)
- 10 black olives
- ¼ tsp saffron powder
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup whole milk (80 ml)
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- Add the chopped garlic (keep a tablespoon aside for the mash) and onion to a large and high pan. Add the sausages, black olives and olive oil. Then chop the tomatoes roughly and add them to the pan also.
- Pour in the beef stock and season with a good dash of pepper and a pinch of salt.
Put a lid on the pan and place it over high heat until boiling. Then turn the heat lower to medium and cook the stew for an hour until smooth. Check regularly. Add extra beef stock or water if necessary.
In the meantime peel the potatoes and chop them up. Add the remaining garlic. Boil or steam the potatoes for 20 minutes until tender.
- Drain the potatoes if you cooked them. Then add the (steamed) potatoes and saffron powder, milk or cream, butter and a pinch of pepper and salt to a large saucepan.
- Mash the potatoes until creamy. Add extra milk or cream if necessary. Then let the mash rest because the saffron flavor has to develop. Check the seasoning of the stew and add extra pepper or salt to taste if necessary.
- Scoop the saffron mash onto deep plates and then top with the sausages and the tomato sauce. Serve hot.

Spanish Chorizo
You just gotta love Spanish chorizo sausages!
So because I am living in Spain at the moment, it is fairly obvious I think to see why I love to cook with Spanish chorizo! These sausages are made from coarsely chopped pork and pork fat that has been seasoned with lots of salt and pimentón or smoked Spanish paprika powder then.
Because pimentón can be both mild and spicy, depending on what type of paprika is used, chorizo can either be spicy or sweet.
Paprika
Not surprisingly Spanish chorizo comes in lots of regional varieties.
Because locals just add whatever ingredients are available in the region. Other ingredients such as herbs or onion may also be added.
Don’t you just love sausages!
