BROKEN SPAGHETTI WITH CHORIZO, MANCHEGO AND SCALLIONS
This dish is similar to paella, but much quicker to prepare and made with a broken spaghetti noodle called fideos. Dried chorizo cooks in oil to release a rich paprika essence, then fideos are toasted in the same pan before softening in a cherry tomato sauce. While cured sausage and sharp Manchego offer rich, complex flavor, salt the water as you would a pot of pasta -- it should taste like the sea.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add chorizo and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes; remove from skillet and set aside, reserving oil in pan.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Add garlic, scallion whites, and fennel and cook until starting to turn golden, about 4 minutes. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and add pasta. Stir constantly until toasted, about 3 minutes. Stir reserved vegetables back into pan.
- Stir tomatoes and their liquid into pan along with 3 cups water. Add 2 teaspoons salt and season with pepper. Bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced and pasta is cooked, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Divide the pasta between two bowls. Top with chorizo slices and scallion greens. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the manchego over the pasta.
BACON-WRAPPED DATES WITH CHORIZO AND MANCHEGO
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make an incision lengthwise in each date, open and flatten. Insert a piece of cheese in the center of each date. Break each chorizo link into quarters. Form each piece of chorizo into a log and squish it inside the date onto the cheese. Close the date around the filling and squeeze to secure. Wrap each date with a bacon strip and secure with a toothpick. Repeat for the remaining dates, cheese, chorizo and bacon. Place the dates on a baking sheet and roast until the bacon starts to crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Turn the dates over and roast for another 7 to 8 minutes.
- In a small bowl combine the syrup and vinegar.
- Remove the dates from the oven and brush both sides with the maple syrup mixture. Return the dates to the oven until they are really crackly and sticky, 1 to 2 minutes. Rest the stuffed dates for 1 minute. Remove the toothpicks and serve.

Steps:
- Put the flour, paprika and fennel seeds in a food processor and blitz with the butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the manchego and chopped chorizo and blitz again until a dough forms. Roll into a 4cm log and wrap in baking parchment. Chill in the freezer for 30-40 mins until firm.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Unwrap the dough and slice into 5mm-thick biscuits. Lay on a lined baking sheet well spaced apart (they will spread in the oven). Bake for 15-20 mins until golden. Leave to cool. Will keep in an airtight container for three days.

BROKEN SPAGHETTI RISOTTO
This pasta dish is not really risotto; it only refers to the similar technique used in that famous Italian dish. Like the grains of Arborio rice, pieces of broken pasta are tossed in hot butter or oil before the liquid is added, but here we're going even further, and toasting it to a gorgeous nut-brown. This gives the dish its signature look, as well as adds a subtle nutty flavor.

SPANISH TAPAS MANCHEGO, MEMBRILLO AND CHORIZO TOASTIES
This is SUCH a great recipe! I found it in a supermarket recipe leaflet, and I have made these tasty little toasted sandwiches regularly since then. They are GREAT for Tapas style appetisers or, serve them for a light lunch or snack. Try to use a high quality chorizo that contains real Spanish smoked paprika. If you cannot source "Membrillo", a Spanish quince paste, then you could use a high fruit content jam or preserve. Serve these as appetisers with glasses of chilled Fino sherry. Alternatively, these can be served for a light lunch or a snack.

CHORIZO AND MANCHEGO CHEESE QUESADILLAS
Rumor has it that the second Zaar World Tour is starting soon and I'm quickly trying to post recipes in preparation for the next international eat-a-thon (Hee hee). Not sure if you would consider this more Spanish or Mexican. For those not familiar, Manchego cheese is a golden sheep's milk cheese native to Spain which comes in three forms based on aging. For this recipe, the two younger varieties would work best. Be sure to use a cured (not fresh) chorizo. You can make these using full sized tortillas or on tiny ones for a delicious appetizer. (10/18: I have updated the directions to make this a bit clearer.)

Steps:
- To prepare the onions, lightly brush them with the teaspoon of olive oil. Cook on a grill pan or indoor grill for one or two minutes until the onions have started getting a little soft and have a few grill marks. Remove from grill and break slices into rings.
- To prepare the chorizo, place a skillet over medium high heat until hot, not smoking. Add the chorizo and cook about 1 minute on each side. Drain the sausage on a paper towel to remove the excess grease.
- To assemble the quesadilla, start the tortilla that will become the bottom. Top with a tenth of the cheese. Sprinkle with 1/5 of the onions, then the sausage. Cover that with another tenth of the cheese and top with another tortilla.
- Repeat step 3 with the next 8 tortilla to assemble a total of 5 quesadillas.
- To cook the quesadillas, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with some of the tablespoon of olive oil. Place quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2 or three minutes until bottom tortilla is browned and the cheese on bottom has melted and begun to dribble. Flip the quesadilla and continue to cook an additional 2 or three minutes.
- Remove quesadilla to plate, cover with clean cloth and place in oven while preparing the others. Before serving cut in halves or quarters.

PASTA WITH CHORIZO, CHICKPEAS AND KALE
Packed with the intense flavors of garlic, paprika and salt, dried chorizo sets the flavor profile of this pasta. First, the chorizo sears in a skillet to render some of its fat and flavor, then chickpeas, scallions and kale soak up its spices. Salty Manchego cheese maintains the Spanish vibes, but Parmesan or pecorino work equally well. While eight ounces of pasta might not seem like a lot, meaty chickpeas and hearty kale complete the dish.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chorizo and cook, stirring, until blistered and oil is bright orange, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chorizo to a medium bowl.
- Add chickpeas and scallions to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas begin to blister, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer chickpeas and scallions to the bowl.
- Add kale to skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pasta to skillet along with 1 cup pasta water and cook over medium-high, tossing with kale, until liquid reduces and coats the pasta, about 2 minutes.
- Return chorizo, chickpeas and scallions to skillet and toss to combine. Drizzle with a little olive oil and top with Manchego to serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, sweet onions, and flavorful chorizo.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the chorizo and vegetables, make sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the ingredients will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the pasta al dente. Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will help it hold up better in the sauce.
- Use a good quality Manchego cheese. Manchego is a hard, salty cheese that will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Look for a cheese that is at least 6 months old.
- Serve immediately. This dish is best served hot, so make sure to have everything ready before you start cooking.
Conclusion:
Broken spaghetti with chorizo, Manchego, and scallions is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is irresistible. The chorizo adds a smoky, spicy flavor, the Manchego cheese is salty and tangy, and the scallions add a fresh, herby flavor. This dish is sure to become a new favorite.
