  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 200 ml coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp red or yellow curry paste (to taste)

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo slices and cook until slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic. Sauté until translucent and fragrant, then add the zucchini slices and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the curry paste and, if using, the smoked paprika, coating the vegetables evenly.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and diced tomatoes, let it simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  5. Return the crispy chorizo to the skillet and simmer for another 2 minutes, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, and pair it with rice or quinoa.
