Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients as instructed above.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add chorizo slices and cook 2–3 minutes per side until lightly crisped and the oil is tinted red.
  • In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.
  • Add the diced potatoes, chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Stir in the kale and cooked chorizo. Simmer uncovered for 5–7 minutes until the kale is tender but still vibrant. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
