What to make for dinner!

Hello, my name is Isabelle. I am, like many, always looking to make something tasty to eat. No one tells you it is a life long activity and that you are forever asking yourself .

                             What shall I make for dinner

Then it's a trip to the shops to see what's either the quickest thing to make, what's the cheapest or what do I fancy the most....I'm sure we all ask ourselves those questions without adding other things into the equation like: diet, restriction, nutrition, healthy eating and special needs for yourself or family.

The problem is at least for me, although I wouldn't call myself a foodie, I do think about variety and deliciousness and I want to sit down and really enjoy my food and that every mouthful I have delights my taste buds leaving me with a yummy feeling.


            Today's Dinner: Potatoes and Chorizo


This is a simple one pot dish.
1. Fry a chopped onion and a clove of chopped garlic in a tablespoon of oil until translucent.

2. Add an odd tomato you have in the fridge and the little Spanish frying chorizo ( you can find these in supermarkets like Sainsbury's and Tesco in there cold meat counter. I got mine from a European butchers that stock a larger frying chorizo and sells it loose, so you can just buy whatever amount you need). 

3. Add chopped parsley and potatoes.

4. Add cold water,(salt if you like. I didn't as these chorizos have lots of seasoning).  Boil for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked.

5. The last two minute I laid a roughly chopped roasted red pepper on top of the potatoes to warm it up.

6. Drain or remove the potatoes and chorizo with a slotted spoon to your dish and I topped it with some watercress but you can add more parsley.

Just delicious!
