How to cook it
-
Heat the olive oil in a large pot and cook the chopped onion, garlic, and green pepper over medium heat until soft, about 8 minutes.
-
Add the sliced chorizo and cook for 3 minutes so it browns lightly and releases its paprika-red fat into the vegetables.
-
Stir in the paprika, then add the potatoes, breaking them into rough wedges with the tip of a knife rather than slicing them clean, so the stew thickens as they release their starch.
-
Pour in the water, add the bay leaf, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the broth has thickened into a rich, paprika-red sauce.
-
Season with the salt, fish out the bay leaf, and let the pot rest 5 minutes before ladling into deep bowls.
