Love Food | Episode 50 | Chorizo Sloppy Joes

Chop the chorizo roughly and blitz it in a food processor until it reaches a minced meat texture.

Heat a pan and add a slick of olive oil.

Fry the chorizo in the pan until browned and crispy.

Chop garlic and add it to the pan with the chorizo.

Add a pinch of chili pepper to the mixture, adjusting for desired heat.

Stir in some smoked paprika.

Deglaze the pan with a little Spanish red wine and stir, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

Add a can of tomatoes to the pan, optionally blitzing them beforehand for a smoother sauce.

Let the sauce simmer while preparing the buns.

Slice the buns in half and prepare a plate for serving.

Taste the sauce and add a touch of maple syrup to balance the flavors.

Once the sauce has thickened, spoon it over the prepared buns.

Top with Parmesan cheese and arugula before serving.

Serve with chips on the side for scooping up any remaining sauce.
