Recipe- Chorizo, macaroni and vegetable one-pot wonder

A super easy one-pot wonder recipe, which is both tasty and hardy for the cold winter months!


Servings: 5




2 large Chorizo sausages

1 Pack macaroni pasta

1L Vegetable stock (full salt)

1 Tin crushed tomatoes

2 Zucchinis

1 Carrot

1 Brown onion

½ Cup Pearl barley

Half head of garlic

1 Cup water




Step 1: In a large pot, bring vegetable stock to a boil.


Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare vegetables- dice onion into large wedges; slice carrot into 1cm rounds; slice zucchini into 2 inch fingers; and dice garlic into small pieces.


Step 3: When vegetable stock begins to boil, add onions and carrot to the pot and allow cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes add crushed tomatoes and fill the tin with water and add it to the mixture- let cook for another 5 minutes.


Step 4: Meanwhile, prepare Chorizo sausage, by slicing it into large pieces before further slicing each piece into halves.


Step 5: Add zucchini and pearl barley to the pot and allow cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add Chorizo and garlic to the pot, followed by the macaroni pasta. Set a timer for 12 minutes with heat turned down to medium. Stir regularly to avoid the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pot.


Step 6: After 12 minutes, the pasta has absorbed up most of the vegetable stock. Take pot off the heat and serve mixture among 4 bowls (saving one in the freezer for a mid-week lunch). Enjoy!
