Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 70 g (2.5 oz) cooking chorizo skin removed and diced
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 carrot peeled and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk diced
  • 500 g (1.1 lb) chicken mince (I buy it in Lidl)
  • 400 g (14.1 oz) tin chopped tomatoes
  • 200 ml (0.8 cups) chicken stock
  • 60 ml (4 tbsp) semi-skimmed milk
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 50 ml (3 ½ tbsp) white wine
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

To serve:

  • 300 g (10.6 oz) pasta of your choice cooked
  • parmesan cheese grated, to garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a casserole over a medium heat. Add the chorizo, onion, carrot, garlic and celery, and fry for 5 minutes until the chorizo and vegetables have softened.
  • Turn the heat up to high and add the chicken mince. Fry until the mince is browned all over, this will take around 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add in the chopped tomatoes, stock, milk, tomato puree, wine, bay leaves, and oregano. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Serve with cooked pasta of your choice and garnish with the grated parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Make ahead – make the bolognese the day before, let it cool and store in the fridge overnight, or make it earlier in the day for that night. Gently reheat on the hob while the pasta is cooking.
  • This chicken and chorizo bolognese recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
