- 200 ml Red wine (See recipe notes for red wine choice)

Instructions
Prep
- Chop the vegetables into a small dice
- Remove the skin from the chorizo, if necessary, and chop into smallish chunks
- Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces
- Weigh/ measure other ingredients
To Make
- Over a medium heat, warm a little oil in your stockpot and add the onions and a small pinch of salt. Soften for 5-10 minutes, with lid on, stirring frequently
- Add garlic and chorizo and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo starts releasing its oils
- Turn up the heat to medium high and add the chicken pieces and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes stirring frequently
- Add the wine and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot then add the tomatoes and the stock
- Reduce the heat to low, maintaining a slow simmer, partly cover and cook for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- After 30 minutes add the beans and peas and cook for 5-10 minutes until they are warmed through
Garnish
- Sprinkle with chopped coriander or parsley if desired. Serve as is or accompany with perhaps mashed potato or fresh crusty bread
Notes
- While many red wines would do, I would choose something medium-bodied with good acidity and fruitiness. 3 good choices might be grenache, rioja or a syrah/shiraz
