1.
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the pot and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Return the chorizo to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the flavors have melded.
5.
Stir in the sherry wine and simmer for another 5 minutes.
6.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Chef's Tips

For a spicier stew, use hot chorizo or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

If the stew becomes too thick, add a little more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.

Serve with crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful broth.

This stew can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavors will develop even more overnight.

Consider adding other vegetables such as carrots or potatoes for a heartier stew.
