  1. In a frying pan on low heat, warm the oil.
  2. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Slowly cook the onion until translucent, add the garlic and turn the heat up to medium.
  3. Add the chorizo coins to the pan and as soon as they've released their oil, add the prawns, tomato puree, water and red wine.
  4. Stir regularly ensuring the prawns cook evenly and the sauce comes together.
  5. Turn off the heat as soon as the prawns are opaque and the grey has been replaced by pink.
  6. Finely chop the herbs and stir in.
  7. Loosen the sauce off with a little more olive oil.
  8. Check the seasoning and serve.

Add some diced chilli or a pinch of cayenne to spice it up.
Stir in red pepper slices or a handful of fresh spinach.
