Just a quiet night in Joburg, the Big Smoke. Bored? Gooi on a potjie. This one happens to be the girl-next-door of potjie recipes. Nice, simple, good looking - and won't send you running to the doctor.

Chicken and Chorizo Potjie Recipe

2kg chicken on the bone
3 peppers of different colours
2 onions
Garlic
Chilli
High quality chorizo
Can of Mexican tomatoes
Can of diced tomatoes
Can of water for some liquid action
250g mushrooms
1 packet black olives (pitted!)
30ml paprika
Fresh thyme
Fresh bay

Add oil to the bottom of the potjie pot. Coat the chicken in flour (this helps thicken the sauce a little). Brown chicken and onions and garlic. Add chorizo. Fry that shit up for a while.

Add everything else. Yeah, everything. Except mushrooms. Cook for 2 hours. Don't lift the lid! Add mushrooms. Cook for another 30 mins. Make sure it gurgles nice and softly the whole time. Serve with rice and red wine! Cheap red wine will do. Chorizo is a powerful equalizer.

You may ask why this is an Extreme Potjie? Do you have any idea how cold it gets in Joburg in winter? Jassis. 

This potjie bought to you Andrew and Helen Evans (while the owner of ExtremePotjie sat and drank beer).
