Simple suppers
I'm definitely getting lazier and lazier as a cook. I am all about the one pot meals and will take any short cut I can. If, like me, you're a fan of simplicity, you will be pleased to know that this recipe has just 3 steps. (1) Chop everything up; (2) put most of the ingredients in the oven to roast; (3) add the more delicate veggies towards the end. Sounds too easy doesn't it? But I promise you it is as tasty as it is simple. The hardest part is finding a decent vegan chorizo sausage. I like the little chorizo sausages that form part of the Plant Kitchen range at M&S or the Plant Pinooers Chorizo Shroomdogs. If you can't find either of these brands near you then any Spanish inspired, spicy plant-based sausage will do!
As well as the chorizo you're going to need new potatoes, a red onion, a couple of cloves of garlic, fennel, a sweet red pepper, a jalapeno, cherry tomatoes, spinach and coriander. The trick is to add the harder vegetables at the start of the cooking time to make sure they have cooked through before adding the softer ingredients like the cherry tomatoes and spinach. The spinach wilts in all of the juices from the chorizo, the tomatoes and the garlic. It's delicious!
You've got everything you need in this one dish but if you wanted to soak up the leftover juices with a big wedge of focaccia I wouldn't judge!
