Spanish Stew with Chorizo

Sweet paprika and flavorful No Evil Foods Chorizo come together in this Spanish Stew with Chorizo for a dynamic topping on Polenta.  The creamy polenta with the savory stew is a winning pair on a chilly fall evening.  When the leaves change and begin to fall, nights become longers, and Sundays are filled with football, I know it is time for hearty and cozy meals like this one.  Keeping with our grain theme, we opted for polenta as the base of this dish.

Polenta?

So why polenta?  Well, polenta is a coarsely ground cornmeal that cooks into a creamy porridge substance and perfectly complemented the tomatoey stew.  Think chili and cornbread, but a one-bowl dish you can eat with a spoon.  The Chorizo Sausage from No Evil Foods was a perfect match for this stew.  Its flavor and texture rendered just the right component to take this dish to the next level.  Be sure to check out the No Evil products and see if you have them near you.
