Vale Da Torre Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

2. 2

   Cook the Chicken

   Add the chicken thighs to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.

3. 3

   Add the Chorizo and Peppers

   Stir in the sliced chorizo and bell peppers. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chorizo to release its oils and the peppers to soften.

4. 4

   Incorporate Tomatoes

   Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and, if using, the red wine. Stir to combine all ingredients, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

5. 5

   Simmer the Dish

   Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. If desired, add the fresh thyme sprigs. Cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

6. 6

   Finish and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the thyme sprigs (if used) and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
