I feel like a cheat calling this a casserole, because in my old-school understanding a casserole meal is a meal cooked in a casserole dish in an oven, not in a wok on a hob. But I guess you could cook it in an oven if you so so desired and either way, hey, it works.<\/p>\n<p>Some alteration was required to bring this meal for 4 down to 2, but not always reducing by 50%. I mean, 200g chorizo for 4 people? What are they, vegetarians? Homeopaths? Nah, we stuck with a Tesco Finest Spanish Chorizo Ring at 225g and didn&#8217;t feel remotely full. We also stuck with the half cabbage and again that was just the right quantity. Everything else we did indeed cut by 50%.<\/p>\n<p>And we saw no point in adding another meaty flavour to a deliciously meaty recipe by using chicken stock. Vegetable stick is far more delicate and in no way overpowers the lovely chorizo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_183259.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4741 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_183259-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_183259-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_183259-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_183259-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_183259-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_183259.jpg 1333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_184413.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4742 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_184413-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_184413-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_184413-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_184413.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_185419.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4743 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_185419-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_185419-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_185419-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_185419.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_192850.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4745 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_192850-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_192850-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_192850-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_192850.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_185853.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4744 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_185853-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_185853-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_185853-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.benjeapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221014_185853.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From The Times Saturday magazine.
