Ingredients

  • 5 bell peppers any color tops sliced off and seeds removed (dice tops, minus stem for filling)
  • 1 lb chicken chorizo
  • 1 lb lean beef chorizo
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 zucchinis quartered then sliced thin
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika powder
  • 2 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp red curry powder
  • 1 tbsp turmeric
  • optional- cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to taste

Instructions

  • In a heavy pan (or cast iron), brown chorizo.
  • When chorizo is nicely browned, add diced onions, zucchini and diced tops of peppers to mix.
  • Brown veggies.
  • Taste mix.
  • If too bland, add spices and mix well. Chorizo should have given off enough oil to allow for enough liquid to combine spices with. If not, add a little olive oil or water.
  • Taste and add additional spices to your liking.
  • In a slow cooker, add peppers.
  • Pour enough water to cover 1" of the slow cooker.
  • Carefully add meat and veggie mix to peppers.
  • Cook on high for 2 hours, until peppers are soft.
  • Serve warm.
