CHORIZO GRAVY RECIPES

Peel the onions, wash the carrots, then roughly chop with the celery and porcini, and place in a large pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil, the bay and thyme. Fry for around 25 minutes, or until turning golden, stirring occasionally.

Add the port and jam to the pan and, once reduced, stir in the flour, followed by the Marmite, tomato purée and vinegar. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for around 10 minutes, or until thickened and reduced to the consistency of your liking.

Pass the gravy through a coarse sieve into another pan, pushing all the goodness through with the back of a spoon. Taste and season to perfection, then serve right away or keep warm over the lowest heat until needed.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Wash and trim 1kg of Brussels sprouts, clicking off any tatty outer leaves. Cook for 8 minutes in a pan of boiling salted water, then drain well. Squeeze 150g of raw higher-welfare chorizo out of its skin, crumbling it into a roasting tray with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. On the hob, fry over a medium heat for 6 minutes, until you have ruby oil, then crumble in 100g of vac-packed chestnuts, strip in the leaves from 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary and shake about. Tip in the sprouts and toss in 1 tablespoon of sherry vinegar. Squash and flatten the sprouts with a potato masher so they suck up more flavour. Roast for 25 minutes, or until starting to colour. Season to perfection, bang out and serve.
