Chicken and chorizo casserole, with onion, carrots and celery ... and more!

This one-pot stew of chicken thighs, chorizo, chickpeas and wonderful vegetables is full of flavour and quick to prepare, you could say, a real winter warmer!


Ingredients
Serves Six (adjust to suit)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
500g/1lb 2oz chicken thighs
1 onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, sliced
2 carrots, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 red chilli, deseeded and chopped
splash red wine
275g/9½oz chorizo, chopped
100ml/3½fl oz dry sherry
1 x 400g/14oz can chopped tomatoes
200ml/7fl oz chicken stock
1 x 400g/14oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
salt and freshly ground black pepper
handful chopped fresh parsley
crusty bread, (or low carb bread alternative), to serve

Method
1. Heat half of the vegetable oil in a large pan. Add the chicken thighs and fry, turning frequently, until lightly browned all over. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
2. Add a little more oil to the pan, then add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery and chilli and cook for five minutes. Add a splash of red wine and simmer until reduced by half.
3. In another pan, heat the remaining oil and fry the chorizo for 2-3 minutes. Add the sherry and cook until the chorizo is crisp. Set aside.
4. Add the can of chopped tomatoes to the pan with the vegetables and bring to the boil. Cook for five minutes, then add the stock and bring back to the boil.
5. Add the browned chicken, the chickpeas and crisp chorizo and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
6. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with crusty bread.

Recipe Tips
i) This chicken and chorizo stew freezes brilliantly for up to a month.
ii) if you don't have sherry, you can use white wine.

Thank you for also including vegetarian/vegan options. As my brother says, I am a lousy hunter and vegetarianism is my only option.
