THE RICE DISH
A one-pot wonder, this filling and moreish dish is twist on the traditional paella but with chicken and chorizo.
THE SANDWICH
One of our personal favourites – this open chicken-and-garlic mayonnaise sandwich is sure to satisfy your hunger. Roasting the garlic first and then adding it to the mayo is totally worth it.
