Winter is drawing in. It’s getting dark, cold and a bit grim out there. This hearty stew is a bit of a staple round my way at this time of year. I’ll cook up a big batch at the weekend, eat some of it and then freeze the rest. The dominant taste and spice comes from paprika that’s both added to the stew, and is in the chorizo. It’s a winner and has more flavour than William Drayton Jnr.
