CHICKEN CHORIZO HASH BAKE

Chicken and Chorizo Hash Bake

There appears to be a welcome respite in the seemingly relentless heat of summer, so I took the opportunity to put the oven on. I haven’t really felt like cooking much. It’s hard to stand over a stove when your kitchen is 30°C.  It’s been a long old week, and though I wanted something hot,…
