Don’t want it spicy?
Use mild chorizo and replace the harissa with the same amount of tomato puree, mixed with a good pinch each of smoked paprika, garlic salt, cumin and ground coriander. It won’t give you quite the same flavour, but it works great for anyone with a milder palate.
Can I make it ahead?
This dish tastes best when cooked and eaten right away, but it does still taste good when reheated.Cook the dish, then cool, cover and refrigerate. Reheat in the pan, over a medium heat, stirring often, until piping hot. You may need to add a splash of water to loosen the sauce up when reheating.
Can I freeze it?
I don’t recommend freezing this dish.
Ingredient swaps
Swap out the chorizo for crispy bacon, or you could even add in chunks of cooked chicken, pork or prawns.
