Mmmmm. That sounds good - I may have to steal this. Without the chorizo it would make a great accompaniment to grilled sausages or pork chops with mustard.

The only addition I might make would be a teaspoon of caraway seeds - they work really well with red cabbage.

Funny you should say that - I was intending to use some but I had none. The supermarket had none, and when I asked the staff where they might be I just got blank looks. *facepalm*

For one of the oldest European spices, they seem to be hard to get hold of. I know some big supermarkets sell them in their herbs/spices section.

Eastern European supermarkets should do them. I think there's a bunch of Polish ones in Hammersmith (also source of fantastic cherry cakes - think jaffa cakes but with cherries and kirsch inside).

Ooh, I'd been plied with those in the past but never known where to locate them.

Unless I'm being inept, it seems that not even Tesco Online stocks caraway seeds. Hammersmith is a bit of a hike, but thanks for the pointer. On reflection maybe the cherry cakes alone are motivation enough to head over :-)
