Fourth (and likely last) entry from me:
Recipe - Pork and Chorizo with Piquillo Peppers (Caracmusa)
Usually, I say, “This is easy, great for a quick weeknight meal,” and this one is by no means difficult, but it does have more than the usual number of steps I like to put up with when making something.
This dirties a lot of dishes, it seems, and a lot of the directions are “…and set aside,” meaning you’re making little mini-recipes that’ll get assembled into the final dish.
I don’t always like that. Just being honest.
Setting aside…ahem…all that, I will say that I did like this, quite a bit. In reading about the dish online, I saw several places that referred to this as “Spanish chili,” and I can see that, though this has a much brighter taste, which I found favor with. I also enjoyed the chewy texture of the Spanish chorizo in this. A dried-cured product like that, I’d usually just slice and eat with some cheese and crackers, or sliced thin and crisped up on top of a pizza, but this was a nice change.
MrsT’s reaction…she wasn’t too impressed, unfortunately. She doesn’t like cumin much, and that’s one of prevalent flavors.
