1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tsp cumin powder

Instructions

Heat a pot. Add oil. Once the oil is medium-hot, add chopped onion. Fry till it softens.

Add minced garlic. Cook till aromatic (avoid burning).

Add chorizo. Cook 4- 5 minutes. It will start to release oil and color will change.

Add cubed potato. Cook on medium heat 5-7 minutes.

Add cumin powder, thyme and season with salt. Mix well.

Add chicken stock and bay leaf. Cover and let cook.

Stir. If required add more stock. Potatoes should be cooked and become soft.

While serving, garnish with chopped green onion.

Notes
