Chicken & Chorizo w/ Romesco Sauce and Spanish Potatoes & Kale


This dish is a Rachael Ray 30 minute meal (my A$$). I would say w/ prep and cooking at least 45 minutes, because there are many tasks involved. About the dish, Romesco sauce originated from Spain to accompany fish and it's made up of roasted red peppers, roasted tomatoes, almonds, stale bread, garlic, red wine vinegar and few other things. It has a lot of acid and a tangy flavor. Chorizo sausage if you're not familiar is a Spanish Sausage loaded w/ sweet paprika and spices. I really like it and use it often in many dishes. The mashed potatoes are incorporated w/ Kale and a Spanish cheese called Manchego from the La Mancha region of Spain and made from the milk of the Manchego breed of sheep. It's salty and similar to Pecorino Romano. I think the dish has a lot of bold and interesting flavors. Will suggested omit the chicken entirely, it really didn't add anything for him, but load up on the chorizo. The dish isn't bad, but I probably won't make it again. If you'd like to try it the recipe can be found on the food network. Buen Provecho!
