  • Just ok. I used a generous pinch of saffron instead of rosemary. Added plenty of salt and pepper. It took less than 30 minutes to cook. If I had followed the cooking time, it would have been inedible. It was fine and quick...but I was underwhelmed.

  • This was a hit with every person in my family. I couldn’t find chorizo links so I diced thin-sliced chorizo instead. Very tasty!

  • Sorry but wasn’t that impressed with the flavor. Liked the method but felt it needed something more...maybe garlic and tomatoes. Also added some halved mini red potatoes.

  • This really is yum, and so quick and easy. I added a few extras- some sliced green olives when I added the Rosemary, and also a slurp of passata sauce in with the chicken stock. Really tasty.

  • Really easy, though I made a few adjustments. Basically I chucked everything into the pot and baked it at 350 for an hour (400 seemed really high to me). Very tasty, although rosemary and chorizo are a bit of an odd combination. Doesn't matter to me, I love them both. I'll make this again.
