I'm not a big breakfast for dinner person, but I sauté up longaniza
and then scramble it with eggs for dinner and chorizo works just as
well. Serve with rice or tortillas, salad or vegetable. I wouldn't
hesitate to use chorizo in place of bits of ham in any recipe, but
bean stew/stoup would be my favorite.

I've made this recipe pretty much as written (yes, I even had Vaquero
beans) Vaquero Bean and Chorizo Stew
http://localkitchenblog.com/2011/01/...-chorizo-stew/

I've made this recipe too (didn't follow it to the letter) and it was
very good. I always use thighs and I'm pretty sure I used fresh
cilantro instead of ground coriander.

Chicken with Chorizo
http://www.cookstr.com/recipes/chicken-with-chorizo

4 servings

Total Time: Under 2 Hours Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil
4 chicken legs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
9 oz (250g) smoked chorizo, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp ground coriander
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 large zucchini, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
One 14.5 oz (411g) can chopped tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock
¼ cup dry sherry


Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Heat the oil in a large
flameproof casserole over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with
salt and pepper. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, about
6 minutes, until browned; remove.

2. Add the chorizo to the casserole and cook, stirring often, for
about 3 minutes; remove. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the
onion. Cook, about 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the coriander and
stir for 1 minute. Add the peppers, zucchini, garlic, and thyme, and
cook about 5 minutes, or until the peppers begin to soften.

3. Add the tomatoes, stock, and sherry and bring to a boil. Return the
chicken and chorizo to the casserole, cover, and bake 40 minutes, or
until the chicken is tender.

Variation:

Spicy Chicken Casserole: Add 9 oz (250g) chopped new potatoes with the
onion. In step 3, add a pinch of dried chile flakes.
