I made this using ground chorizo. Delicious!

Have made this for year’s family fave

Used kielbasa because my local market didn’t have any chorizo. Family favorite now.

This was a delicious and easy recipe. Made it exactly as written with chicken chorizo

Very good.  I read the reviews prior to starting which lead me to add celery and carrots.  Celery’s flavor really works with the other flavors in the dish and the carrots and a sweet counterpoint.  Next time I’ll half the smoked paprika.

This recipe is so yummy, one of my favorites. You have to tweak the flavor to your liking but end results are great!

Oh my, was this TASTY!  Perfect for a cold winter night – post BLIZZARD of 2016.  I made a few changes – two intentionally and one out of necessity.  First, I used only 2 TBLS of EVO, and I believe I could have gotten away with even less.  Second – I used all of the tomato juice from my canned tomatoes and added water to equal 3 cups.  I suppose those wanting a thicker stew could add water to 2 1/2 cups, which is what the recipe calls for in total.  And lastly, I used sweet potatoes because that’s all I had.  This recipe is definitely a KEEPER!

This was incredibly yummy! I loved the smoked paprika! The only changes I made was using a canned of diced tomato instead of the whole and chicken stock instead of the 2 cups of water. I also used red potatoes instead of the russet because I needed to use them up. My husband loved this dish also, so I will make it again soon!

Loved this..very Mediterranean. Added a chopped carrot as well as potato. Didn’t have any kale so added spinach. Thickened sauce a tad with a flour roux. Squirted some fresh lemon and freshly chopped parsley over the top. Also added some cayenne because I love spicy. Definitely will make this again.

This is a great recipe. I added some celery, doubled the liquid with half chicken stock and vegetable stock and simmered it for over an hour. This gave it more broth, tender potatoes and lots of flavor!
