Slow-cooker Spanish chicken

This slow-cooked stew is packed with Mediterranean flavour from chorizo, olives, tomatoes and peppers. The meat will fall off the bone – mop up the sauce with bread

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 Spanish onion, halved and sliced
• 12 large bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
• 225g pack chorizo picante, thickly sliced
• pack of 3 mixed colour peppers, cut into chunks
• 150g (drained weight) pitted Spanish pimento stuffed green olives
• 300ml dry white wine (serve the rest of the bottle with the meal)
• 300ml chicken stock
• 1 tbsp tomato purée

Directions

Method

• STEP 1

  Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan. Fry 1 sliced Spanish onion for about 5 mins until golden.

• STEP 2

  Tip into the slow cooker pot (we used a 6.5-litre model), then fry 12 large bone-in skinless chicken thighs and 225g thickly sliced chorizo picante in the same pan until starting to colour – you will need to do this in two batches.

• STEP 3

  Add to the slow cooker with 3 mixed colour peppers, cut into chunks and 150g pitted Spanish pimento stuffed green olives.

• STEP 4

  Tip 300ml dry white wine, 300ml chicken stock and 1 tbsp tomato purée into the pan.

• STEP 5

  Scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom, then tip into the slow cooker, cover and cook on Low for 6 hrs.
