Chorizo
Chorizo is a Spanish style sausage – which British people can rarely pronounce correctly! However they love it! It can be bought as a whole sausage of in slices. Either will do fine for this recipe. It is made from pork and flavoured with paprika, garlic and salt. Beyond that there are many different variations of Chorizo – not least as to how spicy it is.

Peppers
Peppers are a staple product in our house hold. I often have stuffed peppers with a variety of ingredients and also add them to chillis and beany stews. All the colours of peppers are lovely so choose those you prefer or just use whatever you have. The red and yellow peppers are the sweetest.
Stuffed pepper recipes always start off with the peppers being roasted – which brings out their sweetness. One reason that they taste so delicious!
