Recipe: Chicken & Chorizo Stew

*Season chicken with Paprika, Salt and Pepper before browning in the pan. I added mushrooms for more texture and flavour. I used a 2006 Jacob's Creek white wine. Don't take a shortcut with tinned tomatoes. I did and found it too sour for my liking. Adjust seasoning with a bit of sugar and freshly chopped chilli for extra oomph.

I don't understand; the recipe calls for tinned tomatoes but you say not to take a "shortcut" with them - do you mean "Ignore the recipe" then?

PS I always add a pinch of sugar when I use tomatoes, ESPECIALLY tinned tomatoes, in any recipe, to balance the acidity :)

Hey Yvo,

Sorry I wasn't very clear with that. The recipe calls for chopped tomatoes but I found the tinned ones I used were far too sour. I did try to balance off with sugar but perhaps it was the wine I used in addition to the inferior brand of tinned tomatoes that produced a sour dish! Using a dry white wine might help things.
