Chorizo with peas and feta

We wrote a letter to Santa today, and you cycled to the postbox at the end of the street to send it on its way. Here's hoping you get a reply...

A robust sort of a tea for a cold, windy and migrainy day was required. Makes enough for two (your Dad was out at a work event, hence the peas).

You'll need:

a large chunk of chorizo, sliced
lots and lots of frozen peas
an onion, finely chopped
any odds and ends of peppers hanging about in the fridge
lots of freshly ground black pepper

Gently fry the chorizo over a low heat until it gives off its spicy oil. Add the onion/peppers and fry until they have softened. Meanwhile, heat the peas in boiling water for 3 minutes, until they have defrosted and cooked. Drain.

Chuck the peas into the chorizo/onion/pepper mixture, and swish about for a couple of minutes until they take on the chorizo oil and flavours.

Serve immediately, with some plain basmati rice. Sprinkle some cubes of feta cheese over the top.
