    These are so simple to prepare but taste totally delicious – the juicy prawns with the sweet paprika in the chorizo sausage work really well together and can be served as canapes on cocktail sticks. You could also  throw them on the barbecue in the summer. The secret to this is getting really good quality prawns – the best I have found are at Farmfoods – Jumbo Raw King Prawns 2 packets for £12 with 600g in each. I use Tesco’s Finest Chorizo Ring.

    I tend to put the prawns in the marinade the night before but a couple of hours should be enough.

    Tasty Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

    This is a really tasty quick lunchtime treat if you have half an hour spare. Equally it works well as a dinner party starter served on a slice of toasted ciabatta with some fresh rocket. Don’t feel you need to adhere religiously to the recipe – I tend to use whatever we have in the fridge (although our fridge seems to be pretty well stocked most of the time!) Feel free to use ham instead of bacon, cheddar instead of gruyere etc and if you don’t have the chorizo it will still be tasty. If you can’t get Portobello mushrooms ordinary field mushrooms are a good substitute.

    Winter Chicken Casserole - Hunter's Stew

    This is one of those recipes that can be adapted to whatever is in the fridge on the day. I like this dish as I can prepare it and stick it in the oven for two hours and not worry about it. I love it served with new potatoes and fresh green vegetables or frozen peas. Chicken thighs on the bone should, in theory, result in a tastier casserole but I have recently been using boned and skinned chicken thighs as the whole lot gets eaten and I can’t notice any difference in flavour. The anchovies are optional but add a depth of flavour you will miss. This is also great if on a budget as chicken thighs are cheap.
